Abstract

Claims (40)

1 . A method performed by a server in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying, whether a remote ambient listening call is requested from a first device to a second device;

transmitting, to the second device, a floor granted message including an acknowledgment required indication indicating whether an Acknowledgment is required based on the identification that the remote ambient listening call has been requested;

receiving, from the second device, a floor acknowledgement message, wherein the floor acknowledgment message comprises location information of the second device based on profile information of the second device allowing sending the location information of the second device; and

transmitting, to the first device, a floor taken message including the location information of the second device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second device, media; and

transmitting, to the first device, the received media.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying whether the remote ambient listening call is requested comprising:

receiving, from the first device, a remote ambient listening call request;

identifying whether an authentication of the first device for the remote ambient listening call is successful;

transmitting, to the second device, the remote ambient listening call request; and

receiving, from the second device, a remote ambient listening call response.

4 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the floor granted message comprises at least one of a duration field including a timer value for which the second device is allowed to transmit, a floor priority field including a granted level of priority, a track info field, a floor indicator field, or information about a subtype of the floor granted message, and

wherein the information about the subtype includes a first bit set to one.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor acknowledgement message comprises at least one of a message type field which is set to 1, a source field which is set to 0, or a location field including the location information of the second device.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the location field comprises at least one of a location field ID, a location length, or a location value.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor taken message further comprises at least one of information about an identity of a granted user, or information about a functional alias of the granted user.

8 . A server in a wireless communication system, the server comprising:

a communicator; and

at least one processor coupled to the communicator and configured to:

identify, whether a remote ambient listening call is requested from a first device to a second device;

control the communicator to transmit, to the second device, a floor granted message including an acknowledgment required indication indicating whether an Acknowledgment is required based on the identification that the remote ambient listening call has been requested;

control the communicator to receive, from the second device, a floor acknowledgement message, wherein the floor acknowledgement message includes location information of the second device based on profile information of the second device allowing sending the location information of the second device; and

control the communicator to transmit, to the first device, a floor taken message including the location information of the second device.

9 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the communicator to receive, from the second device, a media; and

control the communicator to transmit, to the first device, the received media.

10 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the communicator to receive, from the first device, a remote ambient listening call request;

identify whether an authentication of the first device for the remote ambient listening call is successful;

control the communicator to transmit, to the second device, the remote ambient listening call request; and

control the communicator to receive, from the second device, a remote ambient listening call response.

11 . The server of claim 8 ,

wherein the floor granted message comprises at least one of a duration field including a timer value for which the second device is allowed to transmit, a floor priority field including a granted level of priority, a track info field, a floor indicator field, or information about a subtype of the floor granted message, and

wherein the information about the subtype includes a first bit set to one.

12 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the floor acknowledgement message comprises at least one of a message type field which is set to 1, a source field which is set to 0, or a location field including the location information of the second device.

13 . The server of claim 12 , wherein the location field comprises at least one of a location field ID, a location length, or a location value.

14 . The server of claim 8 , wherein the floor taken message further comprises at least one of information about an identity of a granted user, or information about a functional alias of the granted user.
