1. A system for minimizing latency for direct group communications among a group of wireless telecommunication devices on a wireless network, comprising:

  • a plurality of wireless telecommunication devices wherein each wireless telecommunication device is able to direct a single group communication stream to a designated group of the plurality of wireless telecommunication devices, each wireless telecommunication device selectively requesting and then receiving an open dedicated broadcast channel for an outgoing communication from the wireless telecommunication device, to include a direct communication stream from that wireless telecommunication device; and

    a communication server that receives the single communication stream from a communicating wireless device and creates a group communication to all wireless telecommunication devices of the designated group, wherein a set of one or more of the plurality wireless telecommunication devices selectively receives a broadcast channel based upon a predetermined probability, and one or more of the set of wireless telecommunications devices assigns a greater probability of receiving an open broadcast channel for requests to transmit direct group communication streams than for requests to open a broadcast channel that are not for a direct group communication.
