MULTICAST-BASED GROUP COMMUNICATIONS IN AD HOC ARRANGEMENTS OF WIRELESS DEVICES

摘要

Wireless communication devices may directly communicate within groups of wireless communication devices using Layer-2 communications to implement "push-to-talk" type applications. In one implementation, a method may include generating a floor request signaling message to take control of a communication channel for a group. After transmitting data relating to the communications, a floor release signaling message may be generated and transmitted a number of times.
