MMETHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC LOCATION-BASED GROUP FORMATION USING VARIABLE DISTANCE PARAMETERS
First Claim
1. A method of dynamic location-based group formation using variable distance parameters in a wireless radio communication system comprising a plurality of subscriber units, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller from one of a first subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for a new group call relative to a defined location;
determining a current location of each of a plurality of potential responding second subscriber units;
determining a maximum response distance associated with each of the second subscriber units, the maximum response distance determined at least as a function of a stored mode of transport associated with each of the second subscriber units;
forming a group comprising second subscriber units having current locations that fall within the maximum response distance, relative to the defined location, associated with that second subscriber unit; and
causing one or more of audio and data transmitted by the one of the first subscriber unit and the dispatch console to be provided to the second subscriber units in the formed group.

Abstract
Dynamic group formation in a wireless radio communication system including a plurality of subscriber units is implemented using variable distance parameters. First, a request for a new group call relative to a defined location is received at a controller from a requesting device. A current location of each of a plurality of potential responding second subscriber units is determined. A maximum response distance associated with each of the second subscriber units is determined as a function of a stored mode of transport associated with each of the second subscriber units. A group is formed including second subscriber units having current locations that fall within the maximum response distance relative to the defined location associated with that second subscriber unit. Audio or data transmitted by the requesting device is then caused to be provided to the second subscriber units in the formed group.

19. A controller for dynamic location-based group formation using variable distance parameters, the controller comprising:
-
a transceiver; a data store; and one or more processors configured to; receive, via the transceiver and from one of a first subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for a new group call relative to a defined location; determine a current location of each of a plurality of potential responding second subscriber units; determine a maximum response distance associated with each of the second subscriber units, the maximum response distance determined at least as a function of mode of transport associated with each of the second subscriber units stored in the data store; form a group comprising second subscriber units having current locations that fall within the maximum response distance, relative to the defined location, associated with that second subscriber unit; and cause, via the transceiver, one or more of audio and data transmitted by the one of the first subscriber unit and the dispatch console to be provided to the second subscriber units in the formed group. - View Dependent Claims (20)
