A method and apparatus for assigning and associating devices using a particular talkgroup to a particular network slice is provided herein. During operation talkgroups within a communication system will be assigned to particular network slices. Some network slices may have a single talkgroup assigned to them, and other network slices may have multiple talkgroups assigned to them. During operation, communication-system infrastructure will conduct all communications for a group of devices over a particular talkgroup via a particular network slice.

Method and apparatus for assigning talk groups to network slices

A user's device will periodically send short PTT bursts to an application talkgroup and wait for an acknowledgement (ACK). The acknowledgement will allow the software application to execute the application as part of the site license. If the site license is used up (i.e., a maximum number of simultaneous users has been reached), then a negative acknowledgment (NACK) will be sent to the device, and the software will deny the user access to the software.

Method and apparatus for limiting a number of simultaneous users of software

A portable communication device and antenna device with removeable matching circuit is provided. The antenna device includes: a base; an antenna element; an electrical connector at the base; a matching circuit removably positioned between the electrical connector and the antenna element, the electrical connector and the antenna element in electrical communication via the matching circuit; and a shell removably attached to the base, the shell surrounding and protecting the matching circuit. The portable communication device includes the antenna device, for example removably attached to an antenna receptacle.

A method and apparatus for notifying authors of a conflict in a report is described herein. During operation authors' devices will be dynamically added to a particular talkgroup if it is determined that a conflict in a report has been detected.
