Communication system and method with voice steering

摘要

A communication system supporting dispatch-like communications in a geographic reuse system environment. An originating user provides a verbal alias corresponding to a target communication unit. The system utilizes the verbal alias to locate a corresponding system identification code for the target unit. The system then determines the general whereabouts of the target unit, and establishes a communication path between the two units. The original voice message may be stored and subsequently transmitted to the target unit upon properly identifying, locating, and establishing a communication path to the target unit.
