First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for establishing a user defined virtual talk group in a trunked radio communication system which has pre-established radio talk groups so that a plurality of radios from different pre-established radio talk groups can communicate with each other using the virtual talk group, comprising the steps of:
- (a) entering a virtual talk group number at each of the plurality of radios so as to place each of the plurality of radios in the same virtual talk group; and
(b) transmitting by one of the plurality of radios a data packet which includes the virtual talk group number and a special code to differentiate the virtual talk group number from the pre-established radio talk groups.

Abstract
A method is provided for a group of radios to establish a talk group in order for the radios to communicate with each other. The method allows for a group of radios (200) to select a talk group which users can communicate with one another, independent of how the radios in the trunked system (600) are grouped at the system-level.

7. A method for a group of radio users which operate in a trunked radio system including pre-established radio talk groups and a central controller to select a virtual talk group different from the pre-established radio talk groups, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) having each of the group of radio users select a virtual talk group number; and (b) transmitting a special code by at least one radio from among the group of radios signifying to the central controller that the at least one radio is operating in the selected virtual talk group. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
