  • initiating a provisioning request from an initiating PS device at the incident scene;

    configuring talk group information associated with the initiating PS device in response to the provisioning request;

    broadcasting the talk group information as a broadcast message from the initiating PS device over a coverage range at the incident scene via a wireless local area network protocol;

    receiving the broadcast message via the wireless local area network protocol at another PS device within the coverage range at the incident scene;

    processing the broadcast message to obtain the talk group information at the other PS device; and

    provisioning the other PS device with the obtained talk group information to enable both the initiating PS device and the other PS device to communicate with each other in the common talk group configuration.
