System and methods for critical communication
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data between a User Equipment (UE) and an intended recipient device over a communication network, the method comprising, at a network node of the communication network:
- receiving, from at least one of;
another network node of the communication system, a control center, the intended recipient, and another UE, a mission critical (MC) session request for a MC communication;
in response to receiving the MC session request, establishing a MC session with the UE for the MC communication, wherein establishing comprises;
forwarding the MC session request to the UE and instructing the UE to collect MC data and to carry out at least one ofcaching at least some of the collected MC data; and
,transmitting at least some of the collected MC data to the network node;
receiving, from the UE, MC data associated with the MC session; and
caching at least a portion of the received MC data for transmission to the intended recipient device.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for mission critical communications. In an aspect, a computer-implemented method may be implemented for a node device on a network to facilitate communication between a sending device and an intended recipient device. The node device may receive from the sending device a mission critical (MC) communication directed to the intended recipient device. The node device may process the received MC communication to produce processed MC data and cache some or all of the processed MC data. The node device may transmit at least a portion of the received MC communication, the processed MC data, and/or the cached MC data to the intended recipient device.

11. A method for transmitting data to an intended recipient device over a communication network, the method comprising, at a user equipment (UE) coupled to the communication network:
-
receiving a mission critical (MC) session request, the MC session request comprising instructions to active one or more MC sensors; activating each of the one or more MC sensors and capturing MC data from each of the one or more MC sensors; establishing an MC session for MC communication with a network node of the communication; and
,after receiving a MC session request response to start transmission of the MC data, transmitting the MC data to the network node for forwarding to the intended recipient device, wherein the MC session request response is received before receiving an acknowledgment of a MC request from the intended recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the UE to; receive a mission critical (MC) session request for MC communication, the MC session request comprising instructions to active one or more MC sensors; activate each of the one or more MC sensors and capture MC data from each of the one or more MC sensors; establish an MC session for the MC communication with the network node of the communication system; and after receipt of a session request response to start transmission of the MC data, transmit the MC data to the network node for forwarding to an intended recipient device, wherein the MC session request response is received before receiving an acknowledgment of a MC session request from the intended recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A network node in a communication network comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the network node to; receive, from at least one of;
another network node of the communication system, the UE, a control center, the intended recipient, and another UE, a mission critical (MC) session request for MC communication;in response to receipt of the MC session request, establish a MC session with the UE for the MC communication by forwarding the MC request to the UE and instructing the UE to collect MC data and to carry out at least one of caching at least some of the collected MC data; and
,transmitting at least some of the collected MC data to the network node; receive, from the UE, MC data associated with the MC session; and cache at least a portion of the received MC data for transmission to an intended recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
