Methods for reducing set up time for communications among multiple user equipment in a long term evolution system
First Claim
1. A method for reducing set-up time for communications among multiple user equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an LTE subsystem, a request for an LTE connection from a first UE, wherein the request comprises an identifier of a virtual channel associated with the first UE;
responsive to contents in the request for the LTE connection, generating, by the LTE subsystem, on behalf of the first UE, a request to transmit media on the virtual channel, wherein the request to transmit comprises the identifier of the virtual channel included in the request received from the first UE; and
sending, by the LTE subsystem, the request to transmit to an application server to trigger an establishment of a call to deliver a media transmission, from the first UE, to at least one other UE associated with the virtual channel.

Abstract
Methods for reducing set-up time for communications among multiple user equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system are described. In accordance with one method, an LTE subsystem that includes a eNodeB and a Mobility Management Entity (MME): receives a request for an LTE connection from a first UE associated with a virtual channel, and responsive to contents in the request for the LTE connection, generates on behalf of the first UE, a request to transmit media on the virtual channel, which the LTE system sends to an application server to trigger an establishment of a call to deliver a media transmission from the first UE to at least one other UE associated with the virtual channel.

12. A method for reducing set-up time for communications among multiple user equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by an application server, a request to transmit media on a virtual channel, wherein the request to transmit is generated by an LTE subsystem on behalf of a first UE associated with the virtual channel and wherein the request comprises an identifier of the virtual channel; and responsive to receiving the request to transmit, sending, by the application server to at least one other UE associated with the virtual channel, a notification of upcoming media transmission on the virtual channel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for reducing set-up time for communications among multiple user equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the method comprising:
-
generating, by a UE, a request for an LTE connection, wherein the request includes an identifier for the UE and an identifier for a virtual channel with which the UE is associated; sending, by the UE, the request to an LTE subsystem to trigger the LTE subsystem to generate, and send to an application server on behalf of the UE, a request to transmit media on the virtual channel. - View Dependent Claims (18)
