Method and System For Providing Information About a Push-To-Talk Communication Session
First Claim
1. A method for providing information about a push-to-talk communication session, comprising:
- facilitating a push-to-talk communication session among a plurality of endpoints;
receiving from a first endpoint of the plurality of endpoints a request for floor control comprising a request to transmit communications in the communication session; and
in response to receiving the request for floor control, providing to the first endpoint a signal communication indicating a status message and that the first endpoint has been granted floor control in the push-to-talk communication session.

Abstract
A method for providing information about a push-to-talk communication session includes facilitating a push-to-talk communication session among a plurality of endpoints and receiving from a first endpoint of the plurality of endpoints a request for floor control comprising a request to transmit communications in the communication session. The method includes, in response to receiving the request for floor control, providing to the first endpoint a signal communication indicating a status message and that the first endpoint has been granted floor control in the push-to-talk communication session.
