METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANEUVERING TALK GROUPS TO A NEW CHANNEL

摘要

A process for communicating with a plurality of push-to-talk (PTT) devices in a wireless network of PTT devices includes, at a first one of the PTT devices, responsive to detecting a change in selected channel, via a channel selector input, from the first channel to a second channel while a PTT input is activated: transmitting, to other PTT devices in a first talkgroup on the first channel, a notification that further transmissions by the PTT device will be made in the second channel, switching the transmitter from the first channel to the second channel, and transmitting further communications to the one or more other PTT devices in a second talkgroup on the second channel.

主权项

1. A push-to-talk (PTT) device comprising:
a transmitter; a receiver; a channel selector input that selects a first channel on which to transmit communications with respect to a first talkgroup; a PTT input that activates transmission of a PTT signal from the device to a particular talkgroup, as a function of the channel selector, when activated; and a processor configured to, responsive to detecting a change in selected channel, via the channel selector input, from the first channel to a second channel while the PTT input is activated:
transmit, to one or more other PTT devices in the first talkgroup on the first channel via the transmitter, a notification that further transmissions by the PTT device will be made in the second channel;switch the transmitter from the first channel to the second channel; andtransmit communications to the one or more other PTT devices on the second channel via the transmitter.
