Abstract: In a wireless communication system (100, 200), at least one service building block (605-610 and 622) is used in a service creation environment (301) to create logic program rules (303) that include identification of an authorized service execution environment. The logic program rules, which may require further configuration, are provided to a service execution environment (302) having an identification that matches the identification of the authorized service execution environment. Configurable software modules within the service execution environment are executed in accordance with the logic program rules when at least one predetermined stimulus is detected, thereby providing the service within the system. The service creation environment and the service execution environment may be implemented within a single console or separately implemented within different consoles, or the service creation environment can be embodied within a stand-alone computer (201). In this manner, rapid service creation is provided.

Abstract: In a communication system, an operator station provides dispatch services to communication groups and multi-communication groups. When a request is received by the operator station to provide a particular dispatch service, which requires at least one multi-communication group to be modified, a temporary multi-communication group is created based on the request and predetermined communication system limitations. After the particular dispatch service has been performed for the temporary multi-communication group, the temporary multi-communication group is discarded, returning the temporary multi-communication group to the at least one multi-communication group.

Abstract: In a communication system having a communication resource allocator, a plurality of communication units, a plurality of communication resources, and at least one console, the communication resource allocator is improved to comprise system reconfiguration databases, selection information, execution information, and predetermined event receiving information. The improvement allows the communication system to be automatically reconfigured in response to a predetermined event. The predetermined event is typically initiated by one of the plurality of communication units.
