METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC LOCATION-BASED GROUP FORMATION FOR A MOVABLE INCIDENT SCENE
First Claim
1. A method of dynamic location-based group formation for a movable incident scene in a wireless radio communication system comprising a plurality of first subscriber units, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller from one of a second subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for a new group call for a movable incident scene;
receiving, at the controller, an initial location associated with the movable incident scene and an indication of a speed and direction of travel associated with the movable incident scene;
determining, by the controller and as a function of the initial location and the indication of the speed and direction of travel associated with the movable incident scene, one or more potential future locations of the movable incident scene different from the initial location;
identifying, by the controller, a set of one or more inclusion threshold rules for each of the one or more potential future locations;
forming, by the controller, a location-based group including first subscriber units meeting at least one inclusion threshold rule in the respective identified set of inclusion threshold rules for any one of the one or more potential future locations; and
causing one or more of audio and data transmitted by the one of the second subscriber unit and the dispatch console to be provided to the first subscriber units in the formed group.

Abstract
Dynamic location-based group formation is provided for a movable incident scene (MIS) in a wireless radio communication system comprising a plurality of first subscriber units. A controller receives, from a requesting device, a request for a new group call for a MIS. The controller receives an initial location associated with the MIS and an indication of a speed and direction of travel of the MIS, and then determines one or more potential future locations of the MIS. The controller identifies a set of one or more inclusion threshold rules for each of the one or more potential future locations, and forms a location-based group including first subscriber units meeting at least one inclusion threshold rule for any one of the one or more potential future locations. The controller causes audio and/or data transmitted by the requesting device to be provided to the first subscriber units in the formed group.

19. A controller for dynamic location-based group formation for a movable incident scene, the controller comprising:
-
a transceiver; a data store; and one or more processors configured to; receive, via the transceiver and from one of a second subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for a new group call for a movable incident scene; receive, via the transceiver, an initial location associated with the movable incident scene and an indication of a speed and direction of travel associated with the movable incident scene; determine, as a function of the initial location and the indication of the speed and direction of travel associated with the movable incident scene, one or more potential future locations of the movable incident scene different from the initial location; identify a set of one or more inclusion threshold rules for each of the one or more potential future locations; form, by the controller, a location-based group including first subscriber units meeting at least one inclusion threshold rule in the respective identified set of inclusion threshold rules for any one of the one or more potential future locations; and cause, via the transceiver, one or more of audio and data transmitted by the one of the second subscriber unit and the dispatch console to be provided to the first subscriber units in the formed group. - View Dependent Claims (20)
