Abstract
A method and device enables establishing radio communications on a trunked network using an inbound proxy. The method includes receiving, at a first subscriber device, a control signal from a base station on an outbound control channel of the base station. A request is then transmitted from the first subscriber device to the base station on an inbound control channel of the base station. Next, it is determined, at the first subscriber device, that the request was not received by the base station. The request is therefore re-transmitted from the first subscriber device to a second subscriber device on an inbound proxy control channel. The first subscriber device then receives a response to the request from the base station. The first subscriber device is thus able to subsequently establish radio communications on the trunked network via the second subscriber device.
