<p>This concurrent packet data session set-up for Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) services decreases the connection set-up time for a PoC call by using processes that are circuit-switched-based to locate and page a called communication device, and to initiate traffic and packet data session set-ups for the called communication device. A method for setting up a packet data session between an originating communication device (211) and a called communication device (215) includes the steps of: requesting a called-device active packet data session set-up for the called communication device (messages 271, 272, 273, 274, 275) and initiating an originating-device active packet data session set-up for the originating communication device (messages 271, 222, 224). The first step can use circuit-switched-based messages and processes to locate the called communication device and set up a traffic channel for the called communication device. After an active packet data session (263) is set-up for the originating communication device (211), the originating-device active packet data session (263) can be used to request a PoC voice channel (message 290). Because a called-device active packet data session set-up has already been requested, the called communication device (215) can respond to the PoC voice channel request quickly (message 293).</p> |
