First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to indicate delays in a PoC group call, comprising:
- offsetting a timestamp in a data stream being transmitted to a late listener to indicate a delay from when the data stream was transmitted to a first listener, wherein the data stream includes data convertible to speech; and
transmitting the data stream including the offset timestamp to the late listener.

Abstract
A method to indicate delays in a push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) group call may include offsetting a timestamp in a data stream being transmitted to a late listener to indicate a delay from when the data stream was transmitted to a first listener. The data stream includes data convertible to speech. The method may also include transmitting the data stream including the offset timestamp to the late listener.

8. A method to indicate delays in a PoC group call, comprising:
-
receiving a data stream; and indicating to a listener that speech generated from the data stream is delayed in response to a timestamp in the data stream being offset from a timestamp in a first data stream transmitted to a first listener to accept an invitation to the PoC group call. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
