First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of communication devices comprising at least one public safety narrowband communication device operating in a public safety system and at least one broadband communication device operating in a broadband system, the plurality of communication devices each including a local network subsystem, the local network subsystem automatically assembling a master-less wireless network converting the plurality of communication devices to peer-to-peer communication devices sharing information over a peer-to-peer information sharing link; and
the peer-to-peer communication devices responding to receiving an event trigger at either of the broadband communication device or the narrowband communication device and providing a response based on the information shared over the peer-to-peer information sharing link.

Abstract
A communication system (100) provides collaboration between narrowband communication devices (102) and broadband communication devices (104) operating over different networks. The communication devices (102, 104) are linked to provide peer-to-peer communication that supports the dissemination of public safety information to a public safety personnel user utilizing the devices. Applications within the devices (102, 104) automatically control features amongst the plurality of devices for redundancy of critical information, removal of non-critical information and power management. Context information can also be examined and shared between amongst the devices.
