Abstract

In response to a UE in a wireless network leaving a multicast group to which the user equipment belonged or switching between multiple access nodes belonging to the multicast group, sending by an access node a rekeying token for UE(s) in the multicast group to use to access data for the multicast group. The access node generates key(s) based at least on the rekeying token. The access node multicasts traffic to the UE(s) in the multicast group using the key(s). In response to an other UE in a wireless network leaving a multicast group to which a UE belongs or switching by the UE between multiple access nodes belonging to the multicast group, receiving, at the UE from an access node, a rekeying token to use. The UE generates key(s) based at least on the rekeying token and receives multicast traffic using the key(s).
