Interoperability and communications system dynamic media proxy based on capability negotiation

摘要

A system and methodology to facilitate communication between non-compatible communication devices by utilization of a dynamic media proxy is provided. Information associated with an endpoint, such as, media capabilities, identity and system resource information is collected. Media proxy'ing is performed as part of capability negotiation. A dynamic media proxy is employed based on an analysis of the collected information. An analysis component can identify an endpoint that does not adhere to specific rules of transmission and can dynamically connect such an endpoint to a VTG (virtual talk group) via a proxy to prevent the endpoint from transmitting media into an active VTG that already has multiple talkers streaming media. Additionally, the location where media processing can occur can be dynamically determined based on the available system resources.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
identify information related to an endpoint to obtain identified information; and negotiate a communication session with an interoperability server (IS) based in part on at least one of the identified information or a predefined floor control mechanism associated with the IS; and receive a first determination from the IS that the endpoint is not in adherence with capabilities of the predefined floor control mechanism and that a proxy is to be dynamically inserted to connect the endpoint to a virtual talk group, wherein the capabilities comprise quality of service, rules of transmission and trusted endpoint identity.
