Abstract
A server servicing a plurality of mobile communication systems for half-duplex communication is provided. The server comprises a transceiver to send and receive communication signals; a processor in operational relationship with the transceiver for processing executable code stored in a storage medium accessible by the processor, the executable code configured to cause the processor to detect a time duration in which a user continuously activates a half-duplex function.

6. A talk burst allocation method in a push-to-talk (PTT) communication system supporting a plurality of PTT terminals, the method comprising:
-
determining whether a talk burst can be allocated to a first PTT terminal having a first priority, in response to receiving a talk burst request message from the first PTT terminal; and
changing priority of the first PTT terminal to a second priority, when request for a talk burst is denied. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

20. A method of servicing a plurality of users in a voice/data communication system, the method comprising:
-
detecting a time duration when a user continuously activates a half-duplex function of a communication terminal in the voice/data communication system;
assigning a priority to said user according to the detected time duration; and
granting a transmission privilege to said user according to the assigned priority. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

31. A mobile terminal in a push-to-talk (PTT) communication network, the mobile terminal comprising:
-
a memory;
a processor;
a transceiver for communicating with a plurality of mobile terminals in the PTT communication network; and
a half-duplex unit in operational relationship with the processor, wherein;
the processor executes code modules stored in the memory to activate the half-duplex function unit, in response to a user requesting to obtain a right to talk from a server in the PTT communication network. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
