Abstract

A PT (e.g., Push-To-Talk, Push-To-View or Push-To-Data) service, and more particularly, to a method and device for controlling a floor (talk burst authority, permission to send media burst, etc.) in a PT service, are discussed. According to an embodiment, the method for controlling a state of a Push-To (PT) server, includes transiting, by a PT server in a second state, to a first state when a media burst release message is received by the PT server; and remaining, by the PT server, in the first state, if the PT server in the first state receives a media packet from a PT client and if the PT server in the previous second state has received the media burst release message.
