Systems and methods of communicating voice communication signals and video content over a WiFi ad hoc network and within the framework of Miracast/Wi-Fi Direct standards may include a first wireless-enabled mobile device configured to establish a Miracast session with a second wireless-enabled mobile device, enter a Miracast mirroring mode in which the first wireless-enabled mobile device establishes itself as a source device so that content output to the speaker and electronic display of the first wireless-enabled mobile device is also displayed on the speaker and electronic display of the second wireless-enabled mobile device, detect user input indicating that the push-to-send over Miracast features should be activated, activate a microphone and/or camera to capture voice communications, images, and/or video content, and transmit the captured voice communications, images, and/or video content to the second wireless-enabled mobile device.

Method and system for using Wi-Fi display transport mechanisms to accomplish voice and data communications

An apparatus and method of determining an allocation of data across multiple data communications networks. A respective characteristic of the first data communications network and the second data communication network are determined based on receiving a respective first and second portion of a data set sent through respective channels to a receiver. Based on determining these respective characteristics and based upon the respective characteristics, an allocation of data between the first data communications network and the second communications network is determined such that the allocation satisfies at least one data transfer performance requirement associated with the data set.

Multiple concurrent data link management

In one illustrative example, data for an appointment is saved in memory. The data include start data corresponding to a start date and time of the appointment, an identifier or address of at least one other mobile device, and at least one of a session ID or key. When a current date and time matches the start date and time, the mobile device grants permission to share, with another mobile device, location information indicating a location of the mobile device. The mobile device also receives location information indicating a location of the other mobile device. When the location information indicates that the locations are within a predetermined range of each other, the mobile device connects in an ad hoc wireless network with the other mobile device with use of the session ID or key, for the communication of one or more files in a secure data session.

Methods and apparatus for use in establishing a data session via an ad hoc wireless network for a scheduled meeting

An apparatus and method of determining an allocation of data across multiple data communications networks. A first portion of a data set is received through a first data communications network. A second portion, that is different from the first portion, of the data set is received through a second data communications network that uses a different data communications protocol than the first data communications network. A respective characteristic of the first data communications network and the second data communication network are determined at a receiver. In response to determining these respective characteristics and based upon the respective characteristics, an allocation of data between the first data communications network and the second communications network is determined such that the allocation satisfies at least one data transfer performance requirement associated with the data set. An indication of the allocation is sent to a transmitter of the data set.

A method (), communication system () and portable communication unit () capable of integrating a plurality of communication services can include a transceiver and a processor () coupled to the transceiver. The processor coupled to the transceiver can be programmed to receive () at least one request among a dispatch call request, an interconnect call request, and a packet data session request while the portable communication unit is in an active session with at least one among an existing dispatch call, an existing interconnect call, and an existing packet data session, provide notification () of the at least one request while in the active session, and enable a selection () among a rejection of the at least one request, an acceptance of the at least one request, and a message response to the at least one request.
