1. A method comprising:
- handling receipt of packet data addressed to a talkgroup by responsively;
determining whether or not the talkgroup currently has an active voice session on a voice channel;
when the determining step determines the talk-group currently has no active voice session on the voice channel, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup on a data channel and continuing a transfer of the packet data to the talkgroup on the voice channel responsive to detecting an early termination of the transfer of the packet data to the talkgroup on the data channel; and
when the determining step determines the talkgroup currently has the active voice session on the voice channel, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup via metadata fields in the voice channel.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for talkgroup-state-dependent routing of group data. An embodiment takes the form of a process that includes handling receipt of packet data addressed to a talkgroup by responsively: determining whether the talkgroup currently has an active voice session on a voice channel; if not, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup on a data channel; and if so, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup via metadata fields in the voice channel.

18. A system comprising:
-
a communication interface; a processor; and data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for causing the system to carry out a set of functions, the set of functions including; handling receipt of packet data addressed to a talkgroup by responsively; determining whether or not the talkgroup currently has an active voice session on a voice channel; when the determining step determines the talkgroup currently has no active voice session on the voice channel, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup on a data channel and continuing a transfer of the packet data to the talkgroup on the voice channel responsive to detecting an early termination of the transfer of the packet data to the talkgroup on the data channel; and when the determining step determines the talkgroup currently has the active voice session on the voice channel, then routing the received packet data to the talkgroup via metadata fields in the voice channel. - View Dependent Claims (19)
