Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request message from a requesting endpoint, where the request message requests a communication session corresponding to an area. An area-based group comprising one or more endpoints associated with the area is identified. The area-based group allows the endpoints to communicate with each other in the communication session. The requesting endpoint is added to the area-based group to allow the requesting endpoint to communicate with the one or more endpoints in the communication session.
