Rapid push-to-talk call setup method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A method of rapid push-to-talk call setup in a multi-wireless network environment, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal requesting a fast paging network connection at both a first network and a second network, wherein the first network is optimized for rapidly establishing a push-to-talk session; and
setting up the fast paging network connection on the second network using the first network, rather than waiting for the second network to initiate the fast paging network connection.

Abstract
A system (20) of establishing a rapid PTT call setup in a multi-wireless network environment, can include a first wireless network (24 and 26) such as an iDEN network optimized for rapid push-to-talk call setups in typically less than one second and a second wireless network (23 and 27) such as a CDMA wireless network operatively coupled to the first wireless network. The system can further include a communication protocol among an originating mobile subscriber unit (22), a target mobile subscriber unit (28), the first wireless network, and the second wireless network, where the first wireless network and the second wireless network receive a request for a PTT session and the PTT session is set up on the second wireless network using the first wireless network. The system can further include a PTT server (25) operatively coupled to the first wireless network and the second wireless network.

19. A machine-readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
receive a signal at both a first network and a second network requesting a push-to-talk session or a fast paging network connection, wherein the first network is optimized for rapidly establishing a push-to-talk session; and set up the push-to-talk session or the fast paging network connection on the second network using the first network, rather than waiting for the second network to initiate the fast paging network connection. - View Dependent Claims (21)
