METHOD, SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLED TALK PRIVILEGE IN A PUSH TO TALK COMMUNICATION SESSION

摘要

A method, system and device for providing controlled talk privilege in a PTT group communication session involving a PTT group. The method includes assigning, at a PTT server, a listener privilege to a first member and a speaker privilege to second member. Speaker privilege is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for floor control of the PTT group. An authorisation request from the first member is received, at the PTT server, for a speaker privilege. The authorisation request from the first member is processed, at the PTT server, to determine whether speaker privilege is to be assigned to the first member. In response to an acceptance of the first member's authorisation request for speaker privilege, the method subsequently includes assigning, at the PTT server, a speaker privilege to the first member.
