METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SERVICE INTEGRATION IN A MULTI-SERVICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of integrating a plurality of wireless communication services, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one request for a service among a dispatch call request, an interconnect call request, and a packet data session request while a communication unit is in an active session with at least one among an existing dispatch call, an existing interconnect call, and an existing packet data session, wherein the at least one request is for a different service than the active session or for a dispatch call request when on an existing dispatch call;
notifying the communication unit with the at least one request while in the active session; and
enabling a selection among a rejection of the at least one request, an acceptance of the at least one request, and a message response to the at least one request.

Abstract
A method (500), communication system (10) and portable communication unit (31, 32, 33) capable of integrating a plurality of communication services can include a transceiver and a processor (34) coupled to the transceiver. The processor coupled to the transceiver can be programmed to receive (508) at least one request among a dispatch call request, an interconnect call request, and a packet data session request while the portable communication unit is in an active session with at least one among an existing dispatch call, an existing interconnect call, and an existing packet data session, provide notification (512) of the at least one request while in the active session, and enable a selection (514) among a rejection of the at least one request, an acceptance of the at least one request, and a message response to the at least one request.

10. A communication system providing a plurality of communication services, comprising:
-
at least one base station transceiver;
a plurality of portable communication units in communication with the at least one base station, wherein each portable communication unit comprises;
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is programmed to;
