20110026506EFFICIENT COLLECTION OF WIRELESS TRANSMITTER CHARACTERISTIC - Systems, methods, and processor-readable storage media are disclosed for collecting information pertaining to the configuration of one or more wireless networks and using this information in turn to estimate the location of mobile wireless devices associated with those networks. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing efficient systems and methods for collecting the information, which are responsive to the coverage or quality of the wireless network configuration information already stored in a network database.02-03-2011

20090011779Mobile Location - A method and system for calculating the location of a mobile radio terminal in a radio communications network. The method provides for the collection of measurements of radio signal parameters at the mobile radio terminal which are then processed and transmitted to a network processor for calculating the location of the mobile radio terminal. The collected measurements may be filtered and subsets of the measurements may also be selected according to their suitability for particular applications.01-08-2009
20090075651Enhanced Terrestrial Mobile Location - Methods and systems for determining whether a mobile radio terminal is on or out of a zone in a radio communications network. The methods and systems provide for generating a profile representative of the zone using measurements taken by the mobile radio terminal and/or the network and/or using predicted values. A comparison is then made between subsequent measurements or values and the profile to make a determination as to whether the mobile radio terminal is in or out of the zone. The methods and systems are applicable to any zone-based application including differential call charging, security applications, buddy finder services, mobile gaming and location based services in general.03-19-2009
20090215465Enhanced Mobile Location Method and System - A method and system is disclosed for locating a mobile radio terminal in a radio communications network. The method makes use of additional positional constraints provided as a result of unreported cells. In one form of the invention, a likely reason for a particular cell not being reported is determined and an associated probability term is determined for use in a position location model. The invention also relates to a system for implementing the method.08-27-2009
20090298505Profile Based Communications Service - A mobile radio communications network is disclosed in which zones may be defined for provision of location based services and applications. Various methods are also disclosed for using the defined zones in different ways for different applications. The methods include associating users with zones, updating users of zones with changes to the zones, controlling zone size and dynamically uploading zone profiles to users based on the user's geographical location.12-03-2009
20100087194ENHANCED ZONE DETERMINATION - A method and system for determining whether a mobile radio terminal is in or out of a zone in a radio communications network by relying at least partially on a serving cell identity. The method provides for generating a profile representative of the zone using measurements taken by the mobile radio terminal, the network, and/or using predicted values. A comparison is then made to determine whether the mobile radio terminal is in or out of the zone.04-08-2010
20100248640METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ZONE CREATION AND ADAPTION - Methods and systems of updating a zone profile comprising obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements and, if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a dominant element of the zone profile and if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a candidate element (e.g., statistically unlikely element) of the zone profile, updating the profile by either adjusting an existing parameter value or by adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to the candidate element.09-30-2010
20100291907SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR TRIGGERING LOCATION BASED VOICE AND/OR DATA COMMUNICATIONS TO OR FROM MOBILE RATIO TERMINALS - Systems, methods and devices for monitoring the location of mobile radio terminal users for the purpose of detecting when they approach within range of one or more target locations in order to trigger voice and/or data communications to or from the network or other mobile radio terminals.11-18-2010
