The invention provides a solution for performing multicast within a
telecommunication network. The basic idea is to introduce multicast
transmission for parts of a network that is basically point-to-point
oriented. This is done by creating transport multicast groups TLMG to
transport data between network entities. The idea is to have a TLMG going
to a node being close to the user. In one embodiment of the invention one
TLMG is established between the SGSNs and RNCs and a second one between
the GGSN and SGSNs. From the RNC the data is sent via a radio bearer to a
user.
