Patent ID: 8145250

Claim:
A push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) system for managing a pre-established session, the system comprising: a first PoC server for performing a session control function; a second PoC server for receiving a PoC session invitation request message from the first PoC server, determining if there is a pre-established session between the second PoC server and a terminating-side PoC client, and transmitting a PoC session re-invitation request message to the terminating-side PoC client after storing a pre-established session ID and a corresponding media parameter when it has been determined that there is the pre-established session; and the terminating-side PoC client for storing the pre-established session ID and the corresponding media parameter when a PoC session ID included in the transmitted PoC session re-invitation request message is identical to the pre-established session ID, and generating a PoC session termination request message by using the PoC session ID and the pre-established session ID and transmitting the PoC session termination request message to the second PoC server upon terminating the PoC session.
