  • Method and apparatus for dynamically enabling a direct mode operation gateway
    Patent number: 8478323
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for dynamically activating gateway functions on a communication device which is operating in trunked mode. The communication device calculates an estimated probability that at least one associated communication device is out of a network coverage area. The communication device determines that the associated communication device is inaccessible or is operating in an operating mode consisting of a trunked mode or a direct mode when the estimated probability is calculated to be at or below a predefined threshold. The communication device automatically activates its gateway functions and is configured to function as a direct mode gateway for at least one associated communication device when it determines that the associated communication device is operating in the direct mode.

  • Mobile station, wireless communication system and method of operation
    Patent number: 8121615
    Abstract: A mobile station (105, 200) operable in a wireless communication system (100), the mobile station including means (218, 202 of 105) for reporting to a location server (104) of the system a current location of the mobile station and a controller (201 of 105) for controlling the means for reporting to report to the location server a current location of a second mobile station (107) detected to be near to the mobile station. A wireless communication system (100) in which the mobile station is operable and a method (500) operable in the system are also described.
