Abstract:
The invention relates to a technique for controlling a content distribution in a point-to-multipoint (“PTM”)-enabled network environment (100), wherein, over a PTM control channel “CCH” (120, 122), control information related to the content distribution is provided for recipients (112, 114, 116) of the content distribution. The control information is provided over the CCH according to a notification scheme indicating a temporal pattern for the provision of the control information. A method embodiment of the technique comprises the step adopting, for a content distribution, either a first control information notification scheme provided for a distribution of streaming content or a second control information notification scheme provided for a distribution of one or more content files.
