METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC CONTROL OF TALK GROUPS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A transceiver device (2) acting as a master among a plurality of communication devices (1, 3-11) potentially acting as slaves to the master. The transceiver device (2) includes a transmitter, a receiver coupled to the transmitter, and a processor coupled to the transmitter and receiver. The processor is programmed to poll the slaves at a first interval and then receive a commmunication request while polling from a first slave of the plurality of communication devices (1, 3-11) to communicate with at least a second slave of the plurality of communication devices (1, 3-11). The master then designates communication parameters for communication between the first slave and at least the second slave and then polls at a re-polling interval the first slave and at least the second slave to confirm the termination of communication between the first slave and at least the second slave.
