Abstract
A method and apparatus for a communication system (100) to register groups of co-located users in a mobile vehicle (110) involves collecting (200) registration information for multiple users by a Vehicle Communications Control Unit (500) (VCCU) on board the mobile vehicle (110), creating (202) at least one group registration request message by the VCCU (500), and sending the at least one group registration request message to an Earth Terminal (102) (ET) of the communication system (100). After the communication system (100) registers each user whose registration information is contained within the at least one group registration request message, the ET (102) sends (312) at least one group registration response message to the VCCU (500), where the message includes information describing whether each registration attempt was successful. The VCCU (500) can then inform (210) each user as to the status of the registration attempt.
