A method for interrupting active communications within a communication network, the method comprising in one embodiment: operating a communication device to terminate communication activity in response to receiving an interrupt request from an interrupting device; operating a repeater to wake up and initiate message communication activity in response to receiving a base station downlink activation message from the interrupting device; and operating the interrupting device to transmit one or more messages on a receive frequency of the repeater. The method for interrupting active communications within a communication network comprising in an alternate embodiment: operating a repeater, in response to receiving an interrupt request from an interrupting device, to clear each channel hosted by the repeater: informing the interrupting device by the repeater that all channels have been cleared; de-keying the repeater; operating the interrupting device to transmit one or more communications on a transmission frequency of the repeater.
