Abstract

Simulcast communication network () includes a first transmit/receive (T/R) site () that functions as control point. At least one processing device () is communicatively coupled to the simulcast communication network. The at least one processing device is responsive to a determination that the first T/R site has experienced at least one fault to initiate a dynamic control point arbitration (DCPA) session. The DCPA session includes automatically selecting one of a plurality of second T/R site () to function as the control point in place of the first T/R site and automatically re-configuring of the simulcast communication network to cause the selected one of the plurality of second T/R sites to function as the new control point.
