| 20100246567 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CREATED LOCATION CONTEXTS IN A LOCATION SERVER - A system and method for creating a location uniform resource identifier (“URI”) for determining the location of a target device. A location request may be received for a target device. Location context information may be collected for the target device including starting information, validating information and policy information. This collected location context information may be encrypted in a location information server and converted to a form compatible with URI syntax. A location URI may then be constructed as a function of the converted information. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100248740 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CREATED LOCATION CONTEXTS IN A LOCATION SERVER - A system and method for handling a location request for a target device using a location uniform resource identifier (“URI”). A location request may be received for a target device from a requesting entity, the target device having a location context information represented by a location URI and including starting information, initial validating information and policy information. The form of the location URI may be verified by a location information server (“LIS”), the form including at least an encrypted context string. This string may be extracted and decrypted by the LIS and it may be determined whether the request can continue as a function of the policy information. If the request can continue, then an estimated location of the target device may be determined as a function of the starting information. Additional validating information may be collected and correlated the initial validating information. If these validating information correlate, then the estimated location of the target device may be provided to the requesting entity. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100311439 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPL ROAMING USING A HELD CLIENT - A system and method for assisting the H-SLP is selecting a V-SLP using the HELD client of a SET. The SET receives identity information from an access network regarding associated LIS. The SET relays this information as well as measurements taken of the wireless network to the H-SLP. If the H-SLP does not contain enough information to determine a location estimate, the H-SLP uses the identity information from the access network to find an associated SLP that may serve as a V-SLP. A request using roaming location protocol may then be transmitted from the H-SLP to the V-SLP for location assistance. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100316006 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPL HELD INTERWORKING - A system and method for enhancing a SUPL session where a SET with a HELD client discovers an LIS of an access network and provides information received from the LIS or plurality of LISs to the SLP. The SLP determines the trustworthiness of the location information and estimates a location. The degree to which the SLP uses the location information is a function of the trustworthiness of the LIS and restraints on the location request. The location information may include a URI or domain name or other indication of location. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20100235492 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERIC APPLICATION OF LOCATION DETERMINATION FOR NETWORK ATTACHED DEVICES - A system and method for determining the location of a target device. A location request may be received for a target device, and a plurality of parameters determined that identify the target device. A most likely path may be selected from a plurality of paths to produce a location of the target device, each path having one or more of the plural determined parameters as an input and one or more measurement results as an output. Measurement information may be collected on the most likely path as a function of one or more of the determined parameters to provide the one or more measurement results. Location information may then be derived for the target device as a function of the one or more measurement results, the derivation utilizing a location determination function that evaluates ones of the plural paths. An estimated location of the target device may then be determined as a function of the respective location information for the selected path. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100106774 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION SERVICES FOR MULTIPLE ACCESS NETWORKS FROM A SINGLE LOCATION SERVER - A system and method for determining the location of a target device attached to an access network connected to a location server, the location server having a plurality of access networks connected thereto. A location request may be received for a target device whereby the target device is identified as a function of one or more parameters. An access network may be identified from the plurality of access networks to which the target device is attached as a function of the one or more parameters. Each access network in the plurality of access networks connected to the location server may be assigned one or more logical identifiers by which an individual location request may be allocated to the respective access network. An estimated location of the target device may then be determined as a function of the one or more logical identifiers using a location algorithm appropriate for the identified access network. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20100234022 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPL ROAMING IN WIMAX NETWORKS - A system and method for connecting a mobile device to a node in a wireless communications network. A query may be received from a mobile device for a location based application at a visited network having a visited location server. A message including information identifying the visited network may be transmitted from the visited network to a home network in response to the query, the message authenticated by the home network. A secure user plane location start message including serving base station information may be transmitted from the device to the home network. A request using roaming location protocol may then be transmitted from the home location server to the visited location server, the request including the serving base station information, and a location of the serving base station returned from the visited location server to the home location server in response to the request using roaming location protocol. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110090121 | LOCATION MEASUREMENT ACQUISITION OPTIMIZATION WITH MONTE CARLO SIMULATION - The present subject matter discloses a method for estimating dilution of precision (DOP) across a service area. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine the DOP across a service area. Random points are selected across a service area and as well as the radio transmitters who signals are capable of being received at the random points are determined. Using the network topology of radio transmitters, a DOP is calculated for each of the random points. DOP is modeled for the service area as a function of the calculated DOP for each of the random points. The modeled DOP is used to determined the measurement accuracy required for subsequent location requests. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090255000 | Internet Protocol (IP) Location, Privacy and Presence - An extension to the Location Information Service (LIS) architecture uses a centralized, user-selected, Privacy Profile Register (PPR) and Presence Register (PR) element, the User Privacy and Presence Register (UPPR) (also known as the Home Register (HR)). This centralized model provides access to value added services that allow the user to be located anywhere in the world by people and services of his choosing. It also provides network elements using this location information with security that the location being provided has certification. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20110090122 | LOCATION MEASUREMENT ACQUISITION ADAPTIVE OPTIMIZATION - A disclosed method uses the results of location queries to tune the value of measurements of a property to obtain a statistically representative measurement for geo location. As location requests arrive, a current measurement value associated with the serving area or location is used to determine the number of measurements to obtained; the resulting uncertainty is mapped against the number of measurements required to determine that value. If additional measurements are required to achieve the target uncertainty in the result, this is recorded. The process relies on empirical observations and has the additional advantage of being blind to the actual network topology. This approach by its own nature automatically takes into account network changes whether known or unknown. | 04-21-2011 |
