Method and apparatus for reducing latency in waking up a group of dormant communication devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for reducing latency in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a dormant-wakeup trigger directed to a target communication device;
triggering the target communication device to re-establish its traffic channel; and
storing the dormant-wakeup trigger for later transmission to the target communication device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing dormant-wakeup latency in a group communication network provides for a significant reduction in the actual total dormant-wakeup time and the PTT latency perceived by the talker through caching the network-initiated wakeup triggers destined for target listeners, and delivering a wakeup trigger to a target mobile station as soon as the target mobile station has re-established its traffic channel.

7. An apparatus for reducing latency in a group communication network, the communication device comprising:
-
a memory unit;
a receiver;
a transmitter; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory unit, the receiver, and the transmitter, the processor being capable of;
receiving a dormant-wakeup trigger directed to a target communication device;
triggering the target communication device to re-establish its traffic channel; and
