Trunked and broadband radio communication method and system
First Claim
1. A method of data communication, comprising:
- receiving data associated with a group of radios, wherein a first subset of the group of radios is located within a first region and a second subset of the group of radios is located within a second region;
determining, at a call controller, that the first subset of radios has access to both a broadband data communication system and a trunked radio system;
determining that at least one radio included in the second subset of radios does not have access to the broadband data communication system; and
allocating resources in the first region on the broadband data communication system and in the second region on the trunked radio system, and subsequently providing the data to the first subset of radios by the broadband data communication system and not the trunked radio system and to the second subset of radios by the trunked radio system and not the broadband data communication system.

Abstract
A data communication system and a method of data communication. The method comprises receiving data associated with a plurality of users, wherein a first set of the plurality of users is located at a first location and a second set of the plurality of users is located at a second location. The method further comprises determining that the first set of users has access to both a broadband data communication system and a trunked radio system and that at least one user of the second set of users does not have access to the broadband data communication system. The data is then provided to the first set of users by the broadband data communication system and not the trunked radio system, and to the second set of users by the trunked radio system and not the broadband data communication system.

16. A data communication system comprising:
-
a trunked radio system; a broadband data communication system; a data interface coupled to the trunked radio system and the broadband data communication system; a processor coupled to the data interface; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instruction code executable by the processor for; receiving data associated with a plurality of users or devices, wherein a first set of the plurality of users or devices is located within a first region and a second set of the plurality of users or devices is located within a second region; determining that the first set of users or devices has access to both the broadband data communication system and the trunked radio system; determining that at least one user or device of the second set of users or devices does not have access to the broadband data communication system; providing the data to the first set of users or devices by the broadband data communication system and not the trunked radio system; and providing the data to the second set of users or devices by the trunked radio system and not the broadband data communication system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A call controller comprising:
-
a data interface; a processor, coupled to the data interface; a memory, coupled to the processor, the memory including instruction code executable by the processor for; receiving, on the data interface, data associated with a group of radios, wherein a first subset of the group of radios is located within a first region and a second subset of the group of radios is located within a second region; determining that the first subset of radios has access to both a broadband data communication system and a trunked radio system; determining that at least one radio included in the second subset of radios does not have access to the broadband data communication system; and allocating resources in the first region on the broadband data communication system and in the second region on the trunked radio system, and subsequently providing the data to the first subset of radios by the broadband data communication system and not the trunked radio system and to the second subset of radios by the trunked radio system and not the broadband data communication system.
