Output management for press-to-transmit communications
First Claim
1. A method of managing press-to-transmit (PTX) communications on a PTX device, comprising:
- receiving at a recipient PTX device a first indication that a floor grant has been granted to an originating PTX device;
determining whether a PTX message segment from the originating PTX device should be buffered for delayed playback by the recipient PTX device, wherein the delayed playback replaces any output of any PTX message segments by the recipient PTX device that is otherwise able to immediately output the PTX message segments;
transmitting a buffer signal based on determining the PTX message segment should buffered, the buffer signal indicating one of a request to buffer the PTX message segment and a recipient storage indication signifying the PTX message segment will be stored in a memory of the recipient PTX device; and
transmitting a ready signal indicating the recipient PTX device is ready to output the PTX message segments.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are provided for managing press-to-transmit (PTX) communications on a PTX device, including include receiving at a recipient PTX device a first indication that a floor grant has been granted to an originating PTX device. Also, determining whether a PTX message segment from the originating PTX device should be buffered for delayed playback by the recipient PTX device. Further, transmitting a buffer signal based on determining the PTX message segment should buffered, the buffer signal indicating one of a request to buffer the PTX message segment and a recipient storage indication signifying the PTX message segment will be stored in a memory of the recipient PTX device. Further still, transmitting a ready signal indicating the recipient PTX device is ready to output PTX message segments.
