Method and apparatus for dynamic talk group formation as a function of subscriber unit movement relative to a defined incident location
First Claim
1. A method for dynamic talk group formation in a wireless communication system as a function of subscriber unit movement relative to a defined geographic incident location, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an infrastructure controller device from one of a second subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for forming a new talk group relative to a defined geographic incident location requiring a first responder response at the defined geographic incident location;
determining, by the infrastructure controller device, a direction of movement for each of a plurality of first responder subscriber units relative to the defined geographic incident location; and
forming, by the infrastructure controller device, a talk group including a first set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location and not including a second set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to not have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location, the formed talk group providing for audio or data transmitted by any one first responder subscriber unit of the first set of first responder subscriber units to be provided to all other first responder subscriber units in the first set.

Abstract
A process for dynamic talk group formation in a wireless communication system as a function of subscriber unit movement relative to a defined incident location includes receiving, at an infrastructure controller device from one of a third subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for forming a new talk group relative to a defined incident location. The infrastructure controller device determines a direction of movement of a plurality of subscriber units relative to the defined incident location. The infrastructure controller device then forms a talk group including a first subscriber unit from the plurality of subscriber units determined to be moving towards the defined incident location and not including a second subscriber unit from the plurality of subscriber units determined to not be moving towards the defined incident location.

18. An infrastructure controller device for dynamic talk group formation in a wireless communication system as a function of a subscriber unit movement relative to a defined geographic incident location, the device comprising:
-
a transceiver; a data store; and one or more processors configured to; receive, via the transceiver, from one of a second subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for forming a new talk group relative to a defined geographic incident location requiring a first responder response at the defined geographic incident location; determine a direction of movement for each of a plurality of first responder subscriber units relative to the defined geographic incident location; and form a talk group including a first set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location and not including a second set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to not have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location, the formed talk group providing for audio or data transmitted by any one first responder subscriber unit of the first set of first responder subscriber units to be provided to all other first responder subscriber units in the first set. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:
-
receiving, at the processing device from one of a second subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for forming a new talk group relative to a defined geographic incident location requiring a first responder response at the defined geographic incident location; determining, by the processing device, a direction of movement for each of a plurality of first responder subscriber units relative to the defined geographic incident location; and forming, by the processing device, a talk group including a first set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location and not including a second set of each first responder subscriber unit from the plurality of first responder subscriber units determined to not have the direction of movement towards the defined geographic incident location, the formed talk group providing for audio or data transmitted by any one first responder subscriber unit of the first set of first responder subscriber units to be provided to all other first responder subscriber units in the first set.
