Abstract:
A multiple subscriber unit (MSU) (600) is co-located with a mobile vehicle (110) and is coupled to multiple communication units (620) which can be used by MSU users to establish communication links between the MSU users and other terminals. The MSU (600) and a method for operating the MSU perform selective registration (200-210, 300-322) for the MSU users. In order to reduce unnecessary registration traffic, only after the MSU determines (202, 303) that a particular MSU user desires to receive incoming calls will the MSU register (208, 320) the particular MSU user with a communication system. If an MSU user does not desire to receive incoming calls, the MSU will not register (204, 304) the MSU user with the communication system.
