Abstract: Apparatus and a method for providing information to a user of a mobile station. The Mobile Station (MS) is equipped with a pre- recorded announce-ment generator. A Mobile Switching Center (MSC) sends a command to an MS over a control channel requesting the MS to generate a selected pre-recorded announcement. The announcement generator generates the announcement, and plays it into the earphone receiver of the MS. Advantageously, the MS can play an announcement without requiring a voice channel to the MSC. Figure 2 101 Recognize Need to Send Announcement Request to MS 103 Is Called MS Equipped With Pre-Recorded Announcement Feature? 104 Treat Call as in Prior Art 105 Send Selected Pre-Recorded Announcement Request Message to MS 107 Does Message Include Data? 109 Insert Data Into Pre-Recorded Announcement 111 MS Plays Pre-Recorded Announcement 121 Display And/Or Tone Message Adequate? 123 Send Display And/Or Tone Message 125 Set-Up Voice Band Connection 127 Play Announcement Over Voice Band Connection

Abstract: A network mute feature deployed in a wireless telecommunications system allows a mobile user to eliminate ambient environmental and wireless transmission noise. Upon activation of the network mute feature, a voice path interconnecting the mobile unit to a party served by the public switched telephone network (PSTN ) is opened. A portion of the open voice path is subsequently interconnected to a noise generator so that the PSTN party hears unobtrusive background noise indicati ng that the mobile user is still "on the line" and can hear transmissions by the party. The PSTN party, however, cannot hear noises associated with mobile user's environment or wireless transmission while the network mute feature is activated. Advantageously, the network mute feature enhances the ability of mobile users to participate in calls in which the quality of transmission (e.g., a conference call) is important.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for performing a voice dispatch call in a digital communication system, such as a spread spectrum communication system. A dispatch group that includes a plurality of communication units is established at a dispatch server. A virtual connection is established for each mobile unit that is active. A dispatch call is initiated when an originating mobile unit sends a dispatch request that is received at the dispatch server. A radio channel is established with each of the active mobile units in the dispatch group. The originating mobile unit then sends voice data that is received by the dispatch server. The voice data can be buffered at the originating mobile unit or the dispatch server. The dispatch server then distributes a portion of the voice data to the active mobile units in the dispatch group utilizing the radio channel.
