Group Regrouping enables dispatchers or any authorized user to temporarily combine MCPTT Groups. A dispatcher uses Group Regrouping for different reasons.
Due to an incident in an area it can be necessary to temporarily enable MCPTT Users from different MCPTT Groups to communicate to each other to coordinate. After the incident the dispatcher cancels the Group Regrouping and the MCPTT Users continue with their original configured MCPTT Groups.
During quiet periods control room managers can decide to combine MCPTT Groups and handle their operations and communications with one dispatcher. In the busier period the Group Regrouping is cancelled and the MCPTT Groups are handled by separate dispatchers.
In the operational MCPTT environment most tasks are covered by standard procedures and communication structures and MCPTT Users can easily access the MCPTT Groups to handle their tasks.
Exceptionally it could happen that there is an urgent need for a dedicated set of individual MCPTT Users to communicate in an MCPTT Group, but that this is not foreseen in the communication structure. This could be due to extreme conditions or due to a cooperation that is outside normal procedures.
User Regrouping enables dispatchers or authorized users to instantaneously provide a dedicated MCPTT Group to these MCPTT Users to enable the required communication. Depending on configuration the MCPTT Users could be automatically affiliated to this MCPTT Group. After the operation this MCPTT Group is removed by the dispatcher or authorized user.
Private Calls can use Floor control or not. Private Calls (without Floor control) are only supported on network, whereas Private Calls (with Floor control) are supported both on and off network. Private Calls (without Floor contol) are intended to have the same functionality as specified for Private Calls (with Floor control) in subclause 5.6.2, subclause 5.6.3, subclause 5.6.4, subclause 5.6.5. Comparable requirements are included in subclause 6.7.1, subclause 6.7.2, subclause 6.7.4 and subclause 6.7.5, with the exception of R-5.6.5-005, which is specific to Private Calls (with Floor control).
The on-network MCPTT Service shall support two types of Private Calls, one which uses Floor control and one which does not.
