1. A communication system for establishing direct full-duplex communications over a cellular frequency band, the communication system comprising:
- a first radio; and
a second radio, wherein;
the first radio and the second radio are configured to transmit and receive directly with each other using time division multiple access before communicating with a cellular base station; and
the second radio is configured to;
transmit, to the cellular base station, a request to reserve a sub band of the cellular frequency;
receive a response to the request indicating that the sub-band has been reserved;
transmit to the first radio a reference to the sub band; and
transmit and receive directly with the first radio on the sub band using time division multiple access.

Abstract
Wireless-conferencing radios communicate directly with each other without a bases station using a multiple access protocol, such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Wireless-conferencing radios can be formed into groups and larger mesh networks. Some groups of wireless-conferencing radios use frequencies in a cellular band to communicate.

18. A method for establishing direct full-duplex communications using a cellular band, the method comprising:
-
establishing direct communication between a first mobile device and a second mobile device using time division multiple access; transmitting, to a cellular base station after establishing direct communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device, a request to reserve a sub band of the cellular frequency band using the first mobile device; receiving, by the first mobile device, a response to the request indicating that the sub-band has been reserved; transmitting to the second mobile device a reference to the sub band; and transmitting and receiving, using the first mobile device, directly with the second mobile device using the sub band and time division multiple access. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
