Abstract
In half-duplex communications over a wireless network, a user from a private organisation sends the request for half-duplex communication through a private server controlled by the private organisation. The private server sets up a private account with the wireless carrier and the user communicates via the private account.
Claims20
A method in a wireless communication device comprising the acts of:
- receiving identities of private user devices by communicating with a private authentication element of a private communication network;
- and
- causing a request for a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) session to be sent, via a carrier network, to a carrier half-duplex processing element (CHDP) of the carrier network, the request identifying at least one invitee private user device and indicating to the CHDP to perform authentication of the at least one invitee private user device with the private authentication element.
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a receiver adapted to receive identities of private user devices through communications with a private authentication element of a private communication network;
- and
- a transmitter adapted to transmit, via a carrier network, a request for a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) session to a carrier half-duplex processing element (CHDP) of the carrier network, the request identifying at least one invitee private user device and indicating to the CHDP to perform authentication of the at least one invitee private user device with the private authentication element.
