Definitions
- the invention generally relates to communication systems and more particularly to managing calls across multiple push-to-talk (PTT) devices.
- PTT push-to-talk
- Push-to-talk is a two-way communication service that operates like a "w alkie talkie.”
- PTT is half-duplex, moaning communication can only travel in one direction at any given moment.
- a typical cell phone call is full-duplex, meaning both parties can hear each other at the same lime.
- communication devices * that provide boib full-duplex and half-duplex capabilities.
- PTT requires the person speaking to press a button on the communication device while talking and then release it when they are done. The listener then presses a PTT button on their own communication device to respond.
- Most PTT systems allow group calling, meaning one person can speak to everyone in their assigned or current group at once, just by pressing a PTI key.
- Some PTT .systems use voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology to provide PTT service digitally over digital data networks.
- VoIP voice-over-IP
- Public safety personnel such as police officers, firefighters and rescue workers to name a few, utilize a variety of different communication devices in the field, including portable handheld radios, cell phones. mobile (vehicular) radios and accessories,
- Typical solutions managing multiple PTT groups include scanning the groups listed in a scan list by various methods, then playing the audio when traffic is detected. Priorities are usually used in the scan list.
- Conventional scanning typically involves tuning to different radio frequency (RF) frequencies one by one and staying tuned to a frequency when activity is detected.
- Trunked scanning typically involves having an infrastructure entity report which groups have activity, with enough information to allow the radio to listen in on desired groups by tuning to a channel.
- RF radio frequency
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a communication system having multiple devices operating in accordance with various embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for managing multiple calls from multiple devices within a communication system in accordance with various embodiments of the invention.
- Dual-watch is the ability to simultaneously listen to audio activity in two groups.
- Multi-watch is the ability to listen to two or more groups simultaneously.
- Dual-watch is accomplished by some public safety users by tuning multiple radios to different groups. These users are accustomed to listening to simultaneous call streams, typically occurring with a mobile (vehicle-based) radio and a portable (handheld) radio. It should be noted that although it is counterintuitive, public safety users are accustomed to processing simultaneous audio streams and tuning into a desired audio stream, even in the presence of many other competing audio sources, including multiple radio transmissions.
- a method and apparatus provide dual/multi-watch across multiple devices along with intelligent call management. Additionally, the use of a VoIP path for dual/multi-watch is provided.
- IP internet protocol
- OMA PoC Open Mobile Alliance push-to- talk over cellular
- the call management configuration operating in accordance with the various embodiments of the invention provides a way of accomplishing dual watch by receiving simultaneously on a radio and a phone.
- the configuration has an added feature of being able to receive more than two audio streams on the phone thereby enabling multi-watch.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a communication system 100, such as a public safety network, operating in accordance with the various embodiments of the invention.
- Communication system 100 includes a plurality of communication devices 130 under the control of a user.
- the plurality of communication devices and accessories 130 includes a radio 102, a phone 104, a mobile (in- vehicle) radio 106, an earpiece 108 and a remote speaker microphone (RSM) 110.
- RSM remote speaker microphone
- the radio 102, the phone 104, the mobile radio 106, the audio earpiece 108, and the RSM 110 have speakers providing audio sinks over which the user hears audio.
- the speaker of radio 102 is a loud speaker and for the purposes of this application provides a preferred location for porting audio of a higher priority group, or porting a call a user is more actively involved in.
- the devices in 130 may be operably coupled over a personal area network (PAN) or other coupling means. Additional devices or fewer devices may also be used, but those shown illustrate a realistic example of the numerous devices a public safety officer may need to manage at any given time.
- a PTT-VoIP application resides in at least one of the devices to support PTT calls over an alternate network 118.
- Communication system 100 is linked via a gateway component 114 which performs an application-layer conversion of information from one protocol stack to another, such as land mobile radio (LMR) network 112 to the alternate network 118 (and vice versa).
- the gateway component 114 includes LMR gateways.
- LMR gateways provide voice interoperability between radio and non-radio networks by bridging radio frequencies to IP streams, such as produced by alternate network 118. Examples of LMR networks are those that adhere to the APCO Project 25 standard and the Tetra standard. Examples of alternate networks are CDMA EVDO and GSM HSDPA cellular data/voice networks.
- the dual/multi-watch is managed with a coordinated approach between the devices 102, 104, 106, 108, and 110.
- the coordination can be implemented by a single PTT VoIP client in the radio 102 or phone 104 or mobile radio 106, or by multiple PTT VoIP clients in communication over a PAN. Regardless of the VoIP client location, the features of the call management operate as follows.
- the user of the plurality of devices 130 has a single list of groups they are interested in listening to, with preference rules describing the type of operation desired for each group. The list may have prioritization.
- the prioritization can be the traditional allocation of a first priority group, a second priority group, and the rest normal priority, or any other form of prioritizing between the groups the user wishes to configure.
- the prioritization may also be based on the type of incoming PTT call is being received, such as emergency given highest priority while non-emergency calls would be assigned lower priority.
- Another preference stored within the list may be the designation of a preferred audio device, which denotes which device is preferred for the highest priority audio. In most public safety applications, the highest priority audio would likely be defaulted to the radio 102.
- the selected default is based on historical data that has shown that users who carry a radio are most likely to have that device on their person than any other, and prefer PTT audio through that device. However, as user applications may vary, different devices could be selected as the default, or assigned different priorities, if desired.
- the highest priority active call traffic is played through the preferred audio device, and the next highest priority call audio is played through another device.
- audio may move to the second device if a higher priority group has activity, or the system may let that current transmission play out before moving subsequent transmissions to the second device since PTT transmissions tend to be very short (3-5 seconds). So for the case of the highest priority audio being assigned to the radio 102, two incoming calls would result in the highest priority call playing out the radio 102 and the next highest priority call playing out the phone 104.
- a third and fourth call coming in to the user of devices 130 could be played out at mobile radio 106 or earpiece 108, RMS 110 or other prioritized audio sinks.
- the call management technique in accordance with various embodiments can also address mobility within the system.
- a distributed mobility approach is defined to choose between narrowband (NB) path between 112 and 114, and VoIP path between 114 and 118 for monitoring a group.
- NB narrowband
- the call management expands to allow for dual/multi-watch considerations, whereby a specific group can be monitored using the NB radio 102, and the other groups can be monitored via the VoIP path. It is likely, but not necessary, that the highest priority group would be the one assigned to the NB radio 102.
- An alternative embodiment is to have the PTT VoIP client in the phone 104 and have the phone 104 forward audio over the PAN to the radio 102 thereby handling the call processing in the phone.
- the PTT VoIP client can exist in both the phone 104 and the radio 102. This embodiment allows redundancy because PTT-VoIP calls can be handled in either device.
- Another aspect to the various embodiments of call management is the handling redundancy. If the devices loose PAN connectivity, or by manual setting or other means it is determined that the user wants to restrict operation to a single device, dual/multi- watch can be restricted to that device, to the degree that the single device is capable. If this single device mode happens and PAN connectivity is still there, the other device can still be used purely as a modem.
- the call management technique operating within a communication system provides the advantage of spatial separation between audio sinks making multiple audio streams easier to understand.
- the call management technique is further advantageous in a mobile (vehicle) configuration where there is further spatial separation between the audio sinks.
- the call management technique may sum two or more call audio streams to a single audio sink when based on assigned device priority and call priority.
- Step 202 begins by detecting audio activity on a channel (for example Cl) from a scan list. As mentioned before the scan list is pre-stored and the types of incoming calls and groups are prioritized. A check is made at 204 to determine if the primary device is playing audio, if not then the audio traffic on channel Cl is played on the primary device at 206. If a determination is made at 204 that audio is being played on the primary device, then a determination is made at 205 as to which channel the audio originates from and then a priority check is made at 208.
- a channel for example Cl
- the scan list is pre-stored and the types of incoming calls and groups are prioritized.
- a check is made at 204 to determine if the primary device is playing audio, if not then the audio traffic on channel Cl is played on the primary device at 206. If a determination is made at 204 that audio is being played on the primary device, then a determination is made at 205 as to which channel the audio originates from and then a priority check is made at 208
- channel Cl does not have a higher priority than channel C2 at 208, then a determination is made at 210 as to whether the secondary device is playing audio at 210. If the secondary device is playing audio at 210, then audio traffic from channel Cl goes to the secondary device at 214. If audio is already being played on the secondary device at 210, then the Cl audio is summed to the audio on the secondary device at 212.
- channel Cl does have higher priority than channel C2 back at 208
- a check is made to determine if audio is playing on the secondary device at 216. If the secondary device is not playing audio at 216, then channel Cl audio is played on the primary device and channel C2 audio is moved over to the secondary device at 220. If audio is played on the secondary device at 216, then channel Cl audio plays on the primary device, and the C2 audio is moved over to be summed with the current audio playing on the secondary device at 218.
- technique 200 While described in terms of two devices, technique 200 is expandable to encompass as many prioritized devices as are in the communication system 100. Technique 200 may also vary based on device audio preferences, audio summing preferences, and allocation of a given group or priority to a device, as previously described.
- the channels are assigned the priorities for scan.
- the call priority can be based on the type of incoming PTT being received. For example, in APCO systems the calls have only one of two priorities (emergency or not), but in Terra and OMA PoC systems, the calls have a numeric priority.
- the comparisons steps associated with flowchart 200 can be based on the priority of the type of call and be played out according to the prioritized devices.
- the call management technique is beneficial to government and public safety type operations where multiple calls may be coming in to a listener of multiple devices at the same time. Unlike the prior approaches to dual watch which have focused on multiple transceivers/speakers, each dedicated to a channel or group.
- the call management operating in accordance with the various embodiments provides dual/multi watch across multiple devices and manages them intelligently resulting in fewer missed calls, improved audio intelligibility, and device redundancy.
- the call management technique can also be readily adapted as different applications relating to priority arise.
