Abstract
A method and apparatus for terminating a member from a group call in a group communication network provides for receiving an indication from a user who wishes to terminate participation in a group call and sending a request to a server to terminate the user from the group call. The method and apparatus further provides for the server to receive the request for terminating a user from a group call, terminate the user from the group call, and send a response indicating that the user is terminated from the group call.
Claims8
In a communication device, a method for terminating a user from a group call in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication from a user who wishes to terminate participation in a group call;
- sending a request to a server to terminate the user from the group call;
- and
- sending a response to the user indicating that the user has been terminated from the group call.
In a communication device, a computer-readable medium embodying a method for terminating a user from a group call in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication from a user who wishes to terminate participation in a group call;
- sending a request to a server to terminate the user from the group call;
- and
- sending a response to the user indicating that the user has been terminated from the group call.
A communication device for terminating a user from a group call in a group communication network, comprising:
- means for receiving an indication from a user who wishes to terminate participation in a group call;
- means for sending a request to a server to terminate the user from the group call;
- and
- means for sending a response to the user indicating that the user has been terminated from the group call.

In a server, a method for terminating a group call in a group communication network, the method comprising:
- determining when a predetermined time period expires in which no media has been communicated in a group call session;
- announcing each participating member in the group call that the group call is going to be terminated;
- and
- terminating the group call after receiving acknowledgement from each participating member in the group call.
