  • Patent number: 11770868
    Abstract: Wireless-conferencing radios communicate directly with each other without a base station using a multiple access protocol, such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). A first radio is configured to communicate with a second radio in a first wireless-conferencing group using a first group profile. The first radio is configured to receive a second group profile for communicating with a third radio in a second wireless-conferencing group, so that the first radio can switch between the first wireless-conferencing group and the second wireless-conferencing group.

  • Patent number: 10575142
    Abstract: A first radio has duplex communication with a second radio, without using a base station by using a multiple-access protocol system. The first radio is configured to perform as a slave radio and then switch to be a master radio based on a master flag. A master radio provides timing synchronization and/or assigns transmission slots for radios in the multiple-access protocol system.

  • Patent number: 10136426
    Abstract: A wireless-conferencing system enables two or more radios to communicate with each other in full-duplex communication, such as by using time division multiple access (TDMA). To use the wireless-conferencing system in a narrowband radio service system, such as GMRS having channel spacing of 25 kHz, one or more techniques are used to implement the wireless-conferencing system.

  • Patent number: 9548854
    Abstract: A multivoice radio system allows users to speak and listen, at the same time, to others using multivoice radios without using a base station. Several embodiments of the present invention are directed toward combining a multivoice radio with push-to-talk (PTT), long-range radio. Other embodiments combine two or more multivoice systems and/or use an extender to increase a distance that multivoice radios can communicate with each other. Combining multivoice systems, in some embodiments, creates a voice and/or data mesh network. Switch-to-talk (STT) functionality can be added to systems to increase a number of users and promote radio discipline. Additionally, a combined in-ear microphone and speaker is disclosed. Further embodiments are directed to combining duplex radios, such as mobile phones, to multivoice systems, and/or PTT systems.
