Wireless communication device

In one implementation, information indicating that a communication device is requesting to enter a dedicated transmission mode in a talkgroup may be received. In addition, information indicating a first position of the communication device may be received. A satellite constellation may be controlled to establish a first channel for communications for the talkgroup within a first beam that has a coverage area including the first position of the communication device. Further, a potential second position of the communication device may be determined. The satellite constellation may be controlled to establish a second channel for communications for the talkgroup within a second beam that has a coverage area including the potential second position of the communication device.
