GROUP COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for managing group calls, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a user communication entity, first call control signaling associated with a first group of user communication entities, wherein the user communication entity is one user communication entity of the first group of user communication entities;
determining, at the user communication entity, that the first call control signaling is associated with a first delivery method;
in response to determining that the first call control signaling is associated with the first delivery method, configuring the user communication entity to receive first call data associated with the first call control signaling;
receiving, at the user communication entity, second call control signaling associated with a second group of user communication entities, wherein the user communication entity is one user communication entity of the second group of user communication entities;
determining, at the user communication entity, that the second call control signaling is associated with a second delivery method; and
in response to determining that the second call control signaling is associated with the second delivery method;
determining a priority associated with the second call control signaling; and
configuring the user communication entity to receive second call data associated with the second call control signaling, according to the priority associated with the second call control signaling.

Abstract
A method and system of managing group calls includes receiving first and second call control signaling at a user communication entity. The user communication entity determines that the first call control signaling is associated with a first delivery method and in response thereto configures the user communication entity to receive first call data that is associated with the first call control signaling. The user communication entity determines that the second call control signaling is associated with a second delivery method. In response to determining that the second call control signaling is associated with the second delivery method, a priority associated with the second call control signaling is determined and, according to the priority associated with the second call control signaling, the user communication entity is configured to receive second call data associated with the second call control signaling.
