Patent ID: 8792473

Claim:
A method of synchronizing data streams, comprising: on a broadband communication device, receiving from a land mobile radio (LMR) communication device at least one LMR identifier corresponding to a LMR data stream generated by the LMR communication device; on the broadband communication device, receiving, from other than the LMR communication device, broadband data; associating the at least one LMR identifier with a broadband data element of a broadband data stream that comprises the broadband data and the at least one LMR identifier; and communicating, from the broadband communication device to an access network, the broadband data stream, wherein the at least one LMR identifier identifies the LMR data stream generated by the LMR communication device and enables a synchronization of the LMR data stream generated by the LMR communication device and associated with the LMR identifier with the broadband data stream communicated by the broadband communication device.
