  • GC group communications
  • group communication requires that the same information is delivered to multiple clients.
  • GC systems e.g. Push-To-Talk (PTT) systems or similar
  • the clients receiving the same media constitute a group of clients, which maybe called a communication group.
  • PTT Push-To-Talk
  • a communication group In a GC system there is usually but not always only one user that is allowed to transmit data (e.g. voice or video) at a certain time.
  • a transmission control function In a GC system there is typically a transmission control function present, also known as floor control function.
  • the transmission control function enables the clients in the GC system to request certain capacity of the shared resources used to transmit data in the system.
  • the transmission control function usually needs a Transmission Arbitrator (TA), also known as floor arbitrator.
  • TA Transmission Arbitrator
  • the TA decides on which client(s) that is/are currently allowed to transmit data in a
  • a transmission control process performed by the transmission control function starts with a client that wish to transmit and therefore sends a transmission request (or floor request) message to the TA. If there are available resources the TA grants the client the right to transmit by sending a transmission grant message (e.g. a floor grant message). The TA also sends a transmission arbitrator taken (TA taken) message (e.g. a floor taken message) to the group of clients that have announced interest in the specific communication group.
  • TA taken transmission arbitrator taken
  • the transmission control or floor control function in a Mission Critical (MC) system usually includes other and/ or additional features than those indicated above. For example, it may allow and in that case control simultaneous transmissions from different GC clients.
  • the transmission control function may also include override/pre-emption capabilities, which can be used when a client with higher priority (e.g. a dispatcher) needs to interrupt a current transmission from another client. In that case the transmission grant or floor grant can be revoked from the client that is currently transmitting.
  • Another function of a transmission control may be queuing. This can be used when there are more clients requesting to transmit than the maximum number of simultaneous transmissions allowed and/ or supported by the TA. In that case the TA may grant the client to transmit according to a certain queue order or similar.
  • a network based GC control node In a GC system there is usually a network based GC control node.
  • This GC control node could e.g. implement the functionality of a group communication service application server (GCS AS) and be a MC service server.
  • GCS AS group communication service application server
  • MC MC service server
  • GC can also be used in off -network operational mode.
  • Off -network operational mode means that the group communication clients (that resides in wireless communication devices, WCD) transmit data directly to other wireless devices in proximity, without using any network infrastructure such as radio base stations or similar.
  • the off -network mode is also known as Direct Mode Operation (DMO) or Device to Device (D2D).
  • DMO Direct Mode Operation
  • D2D Device to Device
  • one of the GC clients In off -network operational mode one of the GC clients must take the TA role in the communication group. This can be done with different approaches. One way is to decide on one specific GC client which is assigned to take the TA role. This client remains as a TA for the group communication ongoing in the off-network mode (this approach is known as single-arbitrator). An alternative is that the transmitting client takes the TA role and keep the role until someone else is granted the permission to transmit. When another client is granted the permission to transmit, that client becomes the TA (this is known as self- arbitration).
  • Figure lB illustrates a known exemplifying transmission control procedure using self-arbitration.
  • GC service client 1 requests to transmit in step 1.
  • the GC service client ⁇ will take the TA role in step 2 and send a TA taken to the other GC clients in step 3. Additional transmission from any client during the media flow (step 4) will be either rejected, queued or granted by the TA (i.e. GC service client 1).
  • the challenge with GC in off-network operational modes is to decide which GC client shall take the TA role. If the TA role is given to one specific client in a single-arbitrator approach, the GC depends on that client. If that client is shutdown/logs out or moves out of radio coverage related to the other clients in the communication group the communication will need a new TA.
  • the other approach known as self-arbitration may continue to work even if the current TA client is shutdown etc.
  • using self-arbitration will give an unpredictable behavior when the clients are distributed in an area, and not all the clients are in continuous proximity (for radio transmission/reception) of all other clients in the communication group.

  • first GC WCD and the second GC WCD are peer WCDs, e.g. such that they are of the same kind or at least are configured to operate in the same manner with regards to the group communication.
  • Group communication in off -network operation with a WCD as TA is typically applicable when the normal network infrastructure is not reliable or when the WCDs are out of coverage of the network.
  • a WCD may be applicable for Public Safety users in one specific incident area and it will then be a clear advantage if the location of incident is used to decide on which GC WCD that should acts as a TA.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de commande de transmission dans un système (100) de communications de groupe (GC), le procédé étant exécuté par un premier dispositif (150a) de communication sans fil (WCD) agissant actuellement en tant qu'arbitre de transmission (TA), pour une pluralité de WCD (150a, 150b, 150c, 150d) dans le système GC (100), consistant : à recevoir (S102), à partir d'un second WCD (150b), une requête de transmission comprenant des informations d'emplacement indiquant l'emplacement du second WCD (150b) ; et à évaluer (S106), sur la base des informations d'emplacement, si le second WCD (150b) peut être approuvé en tant que nouveau TA.
