Private Calls allow two MCPTT Users to communicate directly with each other without the use of MCPTT Groups. They leverage many of the functions and features of MCPTT Group Calls, such as MCPTT User identity and alias information, location information, encryption, privacy, priority, and administrative control. Private Calls can use Floor control or not (i.e., be full voice duplex calls between users), though Private Calls without Floor control are only supported on the network.
Two commencement modes of Private Calls are supported: Manual Commencement Private Call and Automatic Commencement Private Call. The two commencement modes can be used in conjunction with Private Calls with/without Floor control.
Manual Commencement Private Calls mimic a telephone conversation where the called party receives a notification that they are being requested to join a Private Call, and the called party may accept, reject, or ignore the call request. Once the call setup is accepted, the Private Call is established and both Participants may communicate with each other.
Automatic Commencement Private Calls mimic the immediate setup and voice propagation of Group Call operation between two users where the calling party initiates an Automatic Commencement Private Call to another user and sends audio without any additional call setup delay beyond Group Calls. If available and able to accept the Private Call from the calling party, the called party immediately joins the Private Call and processes the calling party's audio.
