AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a system and method for reducing queuing time for an activity announcement message during a push-to-talk (PTT) communication in a wireless communication network. The system includes a server, a base station, and a user device. The server receives a call request message from the user device, identifies at least one targeted device for the PTT communication, sends a testing message to the targeted device before allocating resources to the PTT communication, and sends an announce message to the targeted device after allocating the resources to the PTT communication. The present system and methods allow for efficient transmission of data and / or audio packets to a server during a PTT communication, resulting in less setup delay.

Problems solved by technology

During the process described above, usually there is a noticeable delay between the time a user presses a PTT button at his handset until the time the user is allowed to input his audio message.
The delay is caused by the network and server set-up to handle and relay the communication.
Though short, the delay can be annoying; especially today when people are expecting direct telecommunications be as close to instantaneous as possible.

Abstract

A system and method for a server to provide an early notification to a target group devices when paging a wireless device during a push-to-talk (PTT) communication. When a wireless device is ready to transmit a PTT communication, a message is sent from the wireless device to a server that then sends an early PING message to a base station while processing a call request message from the wireless device. After processing the call request message, the server sends an announce message to the base station. On receipt of the PING message, the base station sends a paging message to all targeted devices while processing the announce message. The early PING message causes a communication channel to be established between a targeted device and the base station, and the communication channel can then be used by the announce message with less set-up time.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11 / 353,416, filed Feb. 13, 2006, now patented as U.S. Pat. No. ______, issued ______, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to wireless telecommunications, and more specifically, relates to a system and method for reducing the wait time at telecommunication originating wireless device during a push-to-talk (PTT) communication.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Technology advancement has made mobile telephones or wireless communications devices inexpensive and accordingly ubiquitous. As wireless telecommunication devices are manufactured with greater processing ability and storage, they also become more versatile and incorporate many features including direct radio communication capability between two or a group of individual handsets. This direct radio communicat...
