Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods are provided to support a party call with auto joining function in a communication system for a distributed transport system that employs VoIP technology. A VoIP unit or end point acts as a conference bridge between an operator extension and other end points. A first end point makes a SIP call to the operator and multicasts a mix of its send audio and the received operator audio. Other end points first check for multicast traffic being received before making a SIP call to the operator and, if so, play out the received audio over its speaker and multicast its send audio. The end point initiating the call mixes this subsequent stream into a stream to the operator, effectively acting as the conference bridge to the operator. The other end points are responsible for mixing received multicast streams for their local speaker.

Claim (Index 5):
A VoIP unit as recited in  claim 3 , wherein, if a second VoIP unit determines that a multicast stream associated with the operator is present, then the second Vole unit is configured to use the multicast stream associated with the operator as send audio from the operator and to transmit its send audio on a second multicast channel; and\n wherein the VoIP control module of the VoIP unit that initiated the call to the operator is configured to mix the second VoIP unit's send audio from the second multicast channel into the VoIP unit's multicast stream that is broadcast to the other VoIP units and into an audio stream to the operator.
