Method and system for a peer to peer wide area network communication among radio sites having dynamic rest channel base repeater stations

摘要

A new group call request is received from a subscriber station at a rest channel repeater at a first network location. Corresponding new group call notifications are then transmitted to each of the other network locations over a wide area network to a current one of the repeaters acting as a rest channel repeater at each of the other network locations. Subsequently, an identity of a traffic channel repeater that will be hosting the new call is received from each of the respective other network locations. An over-the-air notification is transmitted to other subscriber stations at the first network location identifying one of the first rest channel and another available channel as a channel for the new group call. Data received from the first subscriber station is then duplicated and transmitted to each of the identified traffic channel repeaters at each of the other network locations via the wide area network.
