  • Patent number: 8462771
    Abstract: To change between a packet-oriented PTT session and a circuit-oriented telephone connection as selectable communication connections between at least one first connected radio communication appliance and at least one second connected radio communication appliance in a radio communication system, a first of these two communication connections is selected and set up by at least one connected radio communication appliance and/or by at least one control unit in the radio network in the radio communication system. A change is made from this first communication connection, which has been set up, to the second communication connection under the control of a radio communication appliance which is connected to the first communication connection and/or under the control of that control unit in the radio network in the radio communication system which is connected to the first communication connection by activating the second communication connection while the first communication connection still exists.

  • Publication number: 20090176461
    Abstract: To change between a packet-oriented PTT session (PC) and a circuit-oriented telephone connection (TC) as selectable communication connections between at least one first connected radio communication appliance (UE1) and at least one second connected radio communication appliance (UE2) in a radio communication system (FC), a first of these two communication connections (PC) is selected and set up by at least one connected radio communication appliance (UE1) and/or by at least one control unit (PTTS1) in the radio network in the radio communication system (FC).

  • Patent number: 7522584
    Abstract: Provided are a method for changing between a packet-oriented PTT session and a circuit-oriented telephone connection between at least two radio communication appliances, an associated radio communication appliance, a network component and a radio communication system. To change between a packet-oriented PTT session and a circuit-oriented telephone connection as selectable communication connections between at least one first connected radio communication appliance and at least one second connected radio communication appliance in a radio communication system, a first of these two communication connections is selected and set up by at least one connected radio communication appliance and/or by at least one control unit in the radio network in the radio communication system.

  • Publication number: 20070183372
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method which allows for a fast and efficient establishment of a connection between members of a group, more specifically between a mobile radio user who triggers the establishment of the connection and additional mobile radio users of a group of mobile radio users via at least one mobile radio network. According to the inventive method, a first channel that can be used for transmitting signaling data is set up when establishing the connection. User data, such as language, which is to be transmitted between the mobile radio user triggering the establishment of the connection and other members of the group is also transmitted via said channel in addition to the signaling data until a second channel is also set up for the connection, whereupon user data is transmitted via the second channel.

  • Patent number: 7203509
    Abstract: A method for managing communication sessions in a packet-oriented communication system, consisting of a central control unit and a plurality of mobile stations, which can be interconnected via the central control unit. To achieve this, a communication session is established between mobile stations that are assigned to a first communication group. Session priorities are then defined for a first mobile station of the first communication group, said station being in addition assigned to at least a second communications group. Finally the session priorities are transmitted to the central control unit. A second communication session is also established between those mobile stations that are assigned to the second communication group(s), including the first mobile station. Both the first and the second communication session are established via the central control unit, in such a way that the latter can manage the first mobile station in both communication sessions according to the transmitted session priorities.
