Some embodiments include systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks. The system can include an incident controller, a communications resource database that stores communications resources information, and a marshalling rules module that stores a set of marshalling rules. The incident controller can use a marshalling rule to identify and select the communications resources to be marshaled into the incident communications network based on an incident trigger. Upon receipt of an incident trigger, the incident controller is configured to establish the incident communications network by obtaining a marshalling rule based on the incident trigger. The incident controller marshals communications resources based on the marshalling rule and the communications resources determined to be available. Information sources can either provide an incident trigger (e.g., a hurricane warning) or provide data to be analyzed to determine an incident trigger. In some embodiments, an incident communications network includes one or more mobile interoperability workstation.

Embodiments herein provide a method for performing multiple authentications within a service registration procedure. The method includes sending, by a User Equipment (UE) a REGISTER request message to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) server. Further, the method includes receiving, an IMS authentication challenge from the IMS server, where the IMS authentication challenge includes an IMS authentication parameter and a MCPTT authentication challenge. Further, the method includes verifying, at the UE, the IMS authentication challenge. Further, the method includes generating, at the UE, a REGISTER response message. Further, the method includes sending, a REGISTER response message to the IMS server, where the REGISTER response message includes an IMS authentication response to authenticate UE at the IMS server and a MCPTT authentication response to authenticate the UE at the MCPTT server.

An Internet of Things (IoT) device contact has a talkgroup/contact name modified based on an IoT location, a device location, and a heading from the device to the IoT location.

A system and method for improving media delivery and display. By utilizing a memory buffer in a DVR or similar device, and broadcasting linear content at a rate other than 1?, services like video on demand or regular broadcasters can be more versatile. For example, viewers can start over without launching a separate VOD session. If part of the linear content requested is not in the buffer, a switched multicast stream can be sent with the proper section of content. Other receivers on the network may also receive the stream and buffer the content if the content is related to what a viewer is viewing.

An exemplary land mobile radio dispatch console and method are provided. In one embodiment, the console has the capability to process and handle Requests To Talk (RTT) and emergencies. In another embodiment, the console has the capability to provide a history. In another embodiment, the console provides the capability for operators to configure and save patches of predefined groups for later use. In another embodiment, the console includes a telephone interconnect interface component, and combinations of features mentioned above.

A method and a communications system for speech communication includes a plurality of workstations and a plurality of radio transmission devices and radio receiving devices. There are control units in the signal path between the workstations and the radio transmission devices and the radio receiving devices. The control units select the speech signals of one of the workstations according to predetermined or predeterminable criteria when there is a simultaneous plurality of operating signals of a plurality of workstations, or overlap the speech signals of a plurality of workstations according to predefined criteria, and transmit the speech signal thus obtained, chosen or overlapped for sending on the radio transmission device. Further, the control units transmit a receiving signal to the workstations connected thereto when the speech signals transmitted from the radio receiving unit are present, and transfer the speech signals to said workstations.

Techniques are described for offloading the encoding and decoding of multimedia content transmitted during a real-time communication (RTC) session from the virtual desktop to the client device so that the multimedia content can be communicated directly between the client device and the remote peer device without the involvement of the virtual desktop. The offload eliminates the additional network hop of the multimedia content to the virtual desktop that is present in conventional virtual desktop environments, thereby reducing network latency and improving performance, CPU utilization and network load on the virtual machine hosting the virtual desktop. In order to offload the multimedia encoding/decoding, the techniques described herein intercept a number of Application Programming Interface (API) calls to override the messages used to establish a multimedia communication session between the RTC application and the remote peer device.

A request message for changing one or more media for an MCVideo call may be transmitted from a wireless device to n MCVideo application function (AF). A DIAMETER AA-request (AAR) command may be received by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) from the MCVideo AF. The DIAMETER AAR command may comprise: a modification bearer message; and an application identifier attribute-value pairs (AVP) corresponding to the MCVideo call. An implementation message may be transmitted from the PCRF to a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF). The implementation message may comprise an updated Quality of Service (QoS). The PCEF may implement the updated QoS for the MCVideo call. The updated QoS may: comprise QoS data bearer modification information; and depend on a change in a radio network coverage.

A method of maintaining SIP registration in a SIP network for a SIP User Agent resident on a client device, the SIP User Agent having registered with a Push Provider to receive Push Notifications via an Operating System of the client device. The method comprises notifying a push gateway, present in a SIP path between the SIP User Agent and the SIP network, that the SIP User Agent is registered with the Push Provider, the push gateway having an interface to a push server of the Push Provider. The method further comprises performing initial SIP registration of the SIP User Agent with the SIP network via a SIP connection extending through the push gateway and thereafter maintaining a re-registration timer at the push gateway and, upon or prior to expiry of the timer, sending a push notification identifying a re-registration event from the push gateway to the client device via the push server. The push notification is received at the client device which passes the event notification to the SIP User Agent. Re-registration of the SIP User Agent is then performed with the SIP network via a SIP connection extending through the push gateway.
