The groups are registered via a URL address. A user registers the group URL in the network by initially joining the group meeting.
There are three types of PTT groups:
•Provided groups are closed groups to whom only the participants selected by the provider are admitted.
•Ad hoc groups are groups which the user himself can create. You can create your own group and invite members to join it.
•Ad hoc groups can also be comprised of members from a provided group. A company could maintain a closed group, for example, and additionally set up other internal groups for specific corporate func- tions.
