    Patent number: 6529735
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a communication service implemented in a communication network. The communication network receives (201) a request for communication between an originating party and a terminating party. The terminating party address specified in the request corresponds to a common group address to which a group of mobile communication units is associated. The geographical positions of the originating party and at least a subset of the mobile communication units in said group are determined (202, 203). Based on the determined geographical positions, one of the mobile communication units in said group is selected (204a). Typically the mobile communication unit that is determined as being closest to the originating party is selected. Communication is established (205) between the originating party and the selected mobile communication unit.
