  • Patent number: 10548025
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for simulating a land mobile radio system having a plurality of radio sites. The simulation system may comprise an IP network providing an IP-based interface between components within the system such as, for example, a first server designed to simulate one or more radio sites, a second server designed to simulate one or more subscriber units, and a controller interface for providing commands for controlling the simulated subscriber units. Each site in the first server may include one or more site applications each associated with an IP address, and each subscriber unit in the second server is associated with a plurality of IP addresses for communicating with the site applications over the IP network.

  • Patent number: 10548108
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a conventional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. A radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through its traffic channel when the channel is idle. Knowledge of the radio's current location and user group data is used to provide dynamic call routing and data management within the disclosed system. The disclosed system and method may provide operability similar to that of a trunking system by providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication while providing low-cost benefits through operation of a conventional system.

  • Patent number: 9420558
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for providing mobility management and out-of-coverage indication in a hybrid system comprised of conventional LMR sites and trunking LMR sites. If a radio is located at a conventional site, the radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through its traffic channel when the channel is idle. If the radio is located at a trunking site, the radio provides its location and user group data to the disclosed system through the trunking site's control channel. Knowledge of the radio's current location and user group data is used to provide dynamic call routing and data management within the disclosed system. The disclosed system and method provides seamless communication between a trunking site and a conventional site while concurrently enhancing the hybrid system to provide mobility management and out-of-coverage indication features typically associated with a stand-alone trunking system.
