METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING FULL DUPLEX SERVICES OVER MULTIPLE SIMPLEX MEDIA PATHS AND SESSIONS
First Claim
1. A method for providing a full duplex media service over a communications network employing simplex media paths, the method comprising:
- establishing a first simplex media path and session over a first terminal using a communication protocol;
establishing the at least one additional simplex media path and session over at least one additional terminal using the communication protocol; and
utilizing the first simplex media path and session with the at least one additional simplex media path and session to provide the full duplex media service between the first terminal and the at least one additional terminal.

Abstract
Methods for providing full duplex media service over a communications network employing simplex media paths are presented including: establishing a simplex media path and session over a terminal using a communication protocol; establishing an additional simplex media path and session over an additional terminal using the communication protocol; and utilizing the simplex media path and session with the additional simplex media path and session to provide full duplex media service between the terminal and the additional terminal. In some embodiments, after establishing the additional simplex media path and session, processing media on the additional terminal. In some embodiments, the communications network is a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) network and the simplex media path and session and the additional simplex media path and session are Push-to-Talk (PTT) sessions.
