System and method for message acknowledgement when messaging system is unavailable

Abstract:

Techniques for message acknowledgement when messaging system is unavailable are provided. A controller may receive a group text including a message that requires acknowledgement. The group text is directed to at least one controller. A message identification may be extracted from the message. The message identification may be associated with the message that requires acknowledgement. A talkgroup identifier may be computed based in part on the message identification. A radio associated with the controller may join a talkgroup that is associated with the talkgroup identifier. A floor control request may be sent via the radio on the talkgroup associated with the talkgroup identifier. The floor control request may serve as an acknowledgement of receipt of the message.
