Abstract

A method and a mobile unit for allocating speech items to mobile units communicating on a direct mode channel. In the method, a transmission of a first mobile unit is sent during the speech item of that mobile unit on the direct mode channel; a second mobile unit takes the speaking turn; and the transmission of the second mobile unit is sent during the speech item of the second mobile unit on the direct mode channel. The mobile units communicating on the direct mode channel are directed to operate in such a way that the first mobile unit is given the priority to start a speech item or request a speaking turn after the termination of the speech item of the second mobile unit before the other mobile units communicating on the direct mode channel.
