First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for allocating a talk burst in a push-to-talk (PTT) communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a first talk burst request from a first PTT terminal from among a plurality of PTT terminals in the PTT communication system;
receiving a second talk burst request from a second PTT terminal from among the plurality of PTT terminals in the PTT communication system;
granting the first talk burst request, in response to determining that the talk burst is unallocated and a first priority level associated with the first PTT terminal is higher than a second priority level associated with the second PTT terminal; and
denying the first talk burst request, in response to determining that the talk burst is allocated or the first priority level is less than the second priority level,wherein the first talk burst request is periodically retransmitted by the first PTT terminal, while a PTT request actuator on the first PTT terminal is continuously activated and the first talk burst request is denied.
