Method and apparatus for extending a broadcast group service

Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending a virtual channel of a communication area to a user equipment (122) is disclosed. The method includes receiving (402) a message including a virtual channel identity and an area identity. The method further includes determining (404) that the virtual channel identity is associated with a communication area and the area identity is associated with an area outside the communication area. Further, the method determines (406) whether a virtual channel extension feature is enabled on the UE (122). Upon determining (406) that the virtual channel extension feature is enabled, data from the UE (122) is received (408) and then distributed (410) on the virtual channel.

Method of and system for authenticating and operating personal communication devices over public safety networks

Abstract: A public safety (PS) person (10) having a PS communications device (12) is able to authenticate and authorize operation of a non- PS, personal communications device (14) over a PS network. The PS device (12) issues a challenge, and the personal device (14) responds to the challenge, when the devices are in close proximity. A conditional token having specified conditions is sent to the personal device (14), which captures information at an incident scene. The personal device (14) attaches the conditional token to the captured information, and uploads the captured information with the attached token to the PS device (12) to permit distribution of the captured information in accordance with the specified conditions of the attached conditional token.

Incident aware service operations for wireless infrastructure

Abstract: In a two-way radio frequency (RF) communications system having a plurality of subscriber units (SUs) and a supporting infrastructure including a wireless core network, a service request is received indicating one of a device, application, and transport link that will be removed from service. One or more SUs out of the plurality of SUs are identified that will be impacted by the removal from service. A determination is then made of whether any one of the SUs is currently involved in an incident response. For each SU determined to be currently involved in an incident response, it is determined whether the respective incident response is of a non-interruptible incident response type. Responsive to determining that a SU is currently involved in a non-interruptible incident response, a notification is caused to appear at a network management console or a dispatch console, and the service request is at least temporarily suspended.

Mobile dynamic mesh cluster bridging method and apparatus at incident scenes

Abstract: A mobile dynamic mesh cluster bridging method and a mobile device include scanning various wireless channels at an incident scene to identify one or more nodes transmitting a given network identifier; determining a first cluster of the one or more identified nodes are not in communication with a second cluster of the one or more nodes; determining a location for bridging the first cluster and the second cluster; and causing a bridging function to be deployed at the location to provide communication between the first cluster and the second cluster.

Apparatus and method for remotely powering a data acquisition or utilization device

Abstract: Apparatus for delivering operating power from a data terminus to a utilization device includes a first data connection connecting the data terminus to a data repeater station and a second data connection connecting the data repeater station to the utilization device. A first power sourcing equipment delivers DC operating power to the data repeater station over a physical layer of the first data connection. A second power sourcing equipment at the repeater station receives operating power over the physical layer of the first data connection and delivers operating power over a physical layer of the second data connection to the utilization device.
