Method for real-time talk-group creation within a push to talk for the internet of things system
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- logic circuitry configured to receive a first Push-to-talk (PTT) talkgroup identification and map the first PTT talkgroup identification to an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device having a particular address, the logic circuitry also configured to determine a control command based on the IoT device, receive an identification of a radio attempting to operate the IoT device, determine that more-than-one radios are attempting to operate the IoT device, and cause the more-than-one radios to be added to a second PTT talkgroup; and
a network interface coupled to the logic circuitry, the network interface configured to output the control command to the particular address in order to operate the IoT device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for PTT over IoT is described herein. During operation each IoT device will be assigned to a talkgroup. Some talkgroups may have a single IoT device assigned, some IoT device may have multiple talkgroups assigned, and other talkgroups may have multiple IoT devices assigned. During operation, an action command is received over a first talkgroup and a first command type is issued to a first IoT device assigned to that talkgroup. A second action command is received over a second talkgroup and a second command type is issued to a second IoT device assigned to the second talkgroup. When determine that multiple radios are issuing action command to the same IoT device through PTT talkgroup, create a new PTT talkgroup to be populated with the multiple radios.

9. A method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first Push-to-Talk (PTT) talkgroup identification from multiple over-the-air transmissions of multiple radios attempting to control an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device; determining that more than one of the multiple radios are communicating over one or more talkgroups assigned to a same IoT device; and adding the radios communicating over the one or more talkgroups assigned to the same IoT device to a single second PTT talkgroup. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first Push-to-Talk (PTT) talkgroup identification from a first over-the-air transmission of a first radio, wherein the talkgroup identification comprises an identification of a first talkgroup used to control an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device; receiving the first PTT talkgroup identification from a second over-the-air transmission of a second radio; and causing a second talkgroup to be populated with the first and the second radio only when the talkgroup identification received from the first and the second radio are identical. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
