Abstract

A system (20) for simplex dispatch of an information packet (22) utilizing a telecommunication network (24) is provided. The system (20) includes an origination unit (26), a server (42), and a destination unit (28). The origination unit (26) is configured to generate an origination packet (50) containing a voice frame (54), and to transmit the origination packet (50) utilizing a wireless non-circuit-switching service of network (24). The origination unit (26) and the server (42) are coupled through an origination cell site (36) of the network (24). The server (42) is configured to receive the origination packet (50), to convert the origination packet (50) to a destination packet (52) containing a voice frame (54) and/or a text frame (56), and to transmit the destination packet (52). The server (42) and the destination unit (28) are coupled through a destination cell site (46) of the network (24). The destination unit (28) is configured to receive the destination packet (52) utilizing a non-circuit-switching service of the network (24), and to present the contents of the destination packet (52) to a recipient (174).

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method of simplex information-packet dispatching utilizing a global telecommunication network, at least a portion of which provides cellular service, said method comprising:

a) transmitting an information packet containing an audio frame from an origination unit to an origination cell site of an origination cellular service of said global telecommunication network utilizing a wireless packet-switch service of said origination cellular service, wherein said information packet is configured as an origination packet within said origination unit, and wherein said origination unit is a digital cellular subscriber unit of said origination cellular service;
b) routing said information packet via said global telecommunication network from said origination cell site to a destination cell site of a destination cellular service of said global telecommunication network;
and
c) receiving said information packet at a destination unit from said destination cell site utilizing a wireless packet-switch service of said destination cellular service, wherein said information packet is configured as a destination packet within said destination unit, and wherein said destination unit is a digital cellular subscriber unit of said destination cellular service;
wherein
said destination unit is one of a plurality of destination units,
said transmitting includes group dispatching said information packet to each of said destination units;
and
said receiving is repeated in each of said destination units.
