Abstract
A method and apparatus for registering a user in a group communication network provides for determining an address for a location server, requesting the location server to register the user, and receiving a notification from the location server that the user is registered. The method further provides for requesting the location server to authenticate the user before registering the user, and requesting the location server to load information about the user. The method and apparatus also provides for a significant reduction in the actual total dormancy wakeup time and latency by exchanging group call signaling even when mobiles are dormant and no traffic channel is active.
Claims54
In a communication device, a method for registering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- determining an address for a location server;
- requesting the location server to register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is registered.
In a communication device, a computer-readable medium embodying a method for registering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- determining an address for a location server;
- requesting the location server to register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is registered.
A communication device for registering a user in a group communication network, comprising:
- means for determining an address for a location server;
- means for requesting the location server to register the user;
- and
- means for receiving a notification from the location server that the user is registered.
A communication device for registering a user in a group communication network, the communication device comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processor being capable of:
- determining an address for a location server;
- requesting the location server to register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is registered.
In a server, a method for registering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for an address for a location server;
- providing the address for the location server;
- receiving a request for registering the user at the location server;
- registering the user;
- and
- providing a notification that the user is registered.
In a server, a computer-readable medium embodying a method for registering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for an address for a location server;
- providing the address for the location server;
- receiving a request for registering the user at the location server;
- registering the user;
- and
- providing a notification that the user is registered.
A server for registering a user in a group communication network, comprising:
- means for receiving a request for an address for a location server;
- means for providing the address for the location server;
- means for receiving a request for registering the user at the location server;
- means for registering the user;
- and
- means for providing a notification that the user is registered.
A server for registering a user in a group communication network, the server comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processor being capable of:
- receiving a request for an address for a location server;
- providing the address for the location server;
- receiving a request for registering the user at the location server;
- registering the user;
- and
- providing a notification that the user is registered.
A server for registering a user in a group communication network, the server comprising:
- a first server for maintaining location information;
- a second server for registering the user based on the location information provided by the first server;
- and
- a third server for loading information about the user after said registering the user.
In a communication device, a method for un-registering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- requesting a location server to un-register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is unregistered.
In a communication device, a computer-readable medium embodying a method for unregistering a user in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- requesting a location server to un-register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is unregistered.
A communication device for unregistering a user in a group communication network, comprising:
- means for requesting a location server to unregister the user;
- and
- means for receiving a notification from the location server that the user is unregistered.
A communication device for unregistering a user in a group communication network, the communication device comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processor being capable of:
- requesting a location server to un-register the user;
- and
- receiving a notification from the location server that the user is unregistered.
