METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC TALK GROUP FORMATION AS A FUNCTION OF SUBSCRIBER UNIT MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO A DEFINED INCIDENT LOCATION

摘要

A process for dynamic talk group formation in a wireless communication system as a function of subscriber unit movement relative to a defined incident location includes receiving (502), at an infrastructure controller device from one of a third subscriber unit and a dispatch console, a request for forming a new talk group relative to a defined incident location. The infrastructure controller device determines (504) a direction of movement of a plurality of subscriber units relative to the defined incident location. The infrastructure controller device then forms (506) a talk group including a first subscriber unit from the plurality of subscriber units determined to be moving towards the defined incident location and not including a second subscriber unit from the plurality of subscriber units determined to not be moving towards the defined incident location.
