Example devices, systems, and methods for emulating a PTT device at an incident location are provided. An example server receives a request for a remote push-to-talk (PTT) device to be emulated at a target location in a vicinity of an incident, selects local communication infrastructure that supports public safety services for local PTT devices located near the target location, and ransmits, to the local communication infrastructure, instructions for the local communication infrastructure to register an emulated PTT device as a proxy for the remote PTT device at the target location.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing adaptive service areas for multicast session continuity. Embodiments of a method performed by a radio access node in a Radio Access Network (RAN) are disclosed. Such embodiments introduce mobility of User Equipments (UEs) participating in a multicast/broadcast service, which is managed by the RAN. This means that the broadcast area will dynamically adapt as participating UEs move and/or radio conditions change.

A computing device includes communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is to perform operations to transmit an authorization request for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to a V2X application function within a service coordinating entity, the request transmitted from the device via the first access network V2X configuration parameters are received from the service coordinating entity, via the first access network. The V2X configuration parameters are received in response to the authorization request and based on V2X subscription information received by the V2X application function via a V2X application programming interface (API) within the service coordinating entity. A V2X communication link for the V2X communication is established with a second device based on the V2X configuration parameters, the second device associated with a second access network.

According to one embodiment, a signal processing apparatus correlates a plurality of communication terminals as a group and enables one-to-many communications in the group. The signal processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry assigns a transmission right to one of the communication terminals in the group. The processing circuitry generates text data based on voice data from said one of the communication terminals in possession of the transmission right. The processing circuitry gives a texting completion notice indicative of completion of texting processing to the communication terminals in the group. The processing circuitry transmits, after the texting completion notice is given, the generated text data to at least one of the communication terminals in the group.

The present disclosure provides a method for establishing a session, which is applied to a terminal device and includes sending a session establishment request to a network device. The session establishment request is used to request to establish a first session. The session establishment request includes first indication information. The first indication information indicates that the first session is a deactivated session or an activated session. The method also includes receiving a response message of the session establishment request from the network device. If the number of DRBs has reached a number threshold, the terminal device can request the network device to establish a deactivated first session via the first indication information. When the number of DRBs is less than the number threshold, the terminal device or the network device can activate the first session.

A user equipment is configured for concealment of a mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) group identity in multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS). The UE is configured in particular to receive an indication of an MCPTT group pseudonym (7) which is a pseudonym for an MCPTT group identity (11) that identifies an MCPTT group of which the UE is a member. The UE may for example receive this indication from a group management server (GMS) or an MCPTT server. The UE in some embodiments may determine whether received control signalling (e.g., an MBMS subchannel control message) is for the MCPTT group of which the UE is a member, by determining whether the control signaling includes the MCPTT group pseudonym (7).

A server transmits a task to client devices using push-to-talk (PTT). The server receives a response accepting the task from a device of the client devices. The server assigns the task to a user of the device. The server transmits an indication that the task was assigned to the user of the device to at least a subset of the client devices.
