Abstract

Lazy-lock control methods for use with a real-time communication network are presented, the real-time communication network incorporating a right-to-send procedure, the methods including: a) sending a first floor control request message to the real-time communication network by a first requesting user equipment (UE), the real-time communication network configured for connecting the first requesting UE with a receiving UE; b) sending a first media to the real-time communications network by the first requesting UE before receiving a floor control grant message from the real-time communications network; c) substantially simultaneously sending the floor control grant message to the first requesting UE and a floor taken message to the at least one receiving UE by the real-time communication network; and d) forwarding the first media to the at least one receiving UE by the real-time communications network.
