Abstract

Exemplary techniques for sending data packages, such as media objects, during group communication sessions between wireless telecommunication devices, such as push-to-talk communication sessions, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the data packages, such as discrete data packages, are queued at the transmitting wireless communication device and then sent to other group members upon establishment of channels for group communications to the group members. The data packages can also be queued at the group communication server prior to being sent to a target device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a wireless communication device, a request to send a data package to a target over a group communication channel;
determining whether the group communication channel is open at the wireless communication device; and
