Method and apparatus for delayed talk-back in PTT systems

摘要

A method and apparatus for delayed talk-back behavior in a communication device associated with a Push-to-Talk (PTT) system include presenting talk-burst audio to a user at the communication device, wherein the talk-burst audio is delayed; receiving a PTT request from the user; determining a delay time interval between the PTT request and a time when the talk-burst audio was originated; and performing an action for the PTT request based on the delay time interval, wherein the time interval is utilized to determine if the action is a standard PTT response or an alternative PTT response to the PTT request.
