Mobile Automatic Location Identification (ALI) for first responders

Номер: US20120045039A1
Автор: Richard Dickinson
Принадлежит: TeleCommunication Systems Inc

Automatic Location Indication (ALI) data is digitally transferred from a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to a first responder via a web site accessed by the first responder. The web site lists each live E911 call within their jurisdiction, and appends the caller's ALI and/or other location data relative to each call. Preferably the first responders (e.g., police car, paramedic, ambulance, fire truck, etc.) can view not only the emergency caller's information for those E911 calls that they are responding to, but also information about other emergency callers that other first responders are responding to. This facilitates the actual response to individual emergency calls as well as the overall management of multiple responders to multiple emergency calls.

Methods of enabling late entry into an on-going spread spectrum call are described. A late join frame replaces, and has the same size as, a traffic frame. A late join slot in the late join frame contains sufficient information in preamble and sync subframes to permit a target to join the call. The traffic slots in the late join frame replicate data such that call quality of the call is substantially unaffected if one of the remaining traffic frames is not received. The preamble and sync subframes frequencies may be the same as, or different from, preamble and sync frames frequencies during a call establishment phase of the call. If different, the preamble and sync subframes frequencies are selected from one or more frequencies. Use of the preamble and sync subframes frequencies is compensated for when selecting the traffic slot frequencies to obtain uniform utilization of the spectrum.

Mobile devices, such as a dual standby global phone, can have multiple subscriptions to access different radio access technologies, such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technologies. A selective scanning utility recognizes that emergency calls can be processed in any active subscription rather than being independently invoked to obtain a plurality of ways to make an emergency call. The utility limits service acquisition to just one of all active subscriptions in device, thereby achieving the objective of staying camped for limited service without needing to perform cell selection on emergency call origination on a secondary subscription at the cost of battery service. For single-radio devices, this solution also increases the availability of the first selected cell by avoiding the need to tune away for cell selection on the secondary subscription.

Efficient processing and/or routing of emergency calls in an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for VoIP (Voice over IP) subscribers can be enabled. In one aspect, an E911 profile is generated, for example, by an application server, for each VoIP subscriber based in part on current location information associated with the subscriber, such as, the subscriber's IP address. The E911 profile is pushed to the HSS (Home Subscriber Server) of the IMS. The E911 profile can then be stored in the HSS and can be queried by an E-CSCF (Emergency Call Session Control Function) during emergency call processing. Moreover, when an emergency call is received from the subscriber, the E-CSCF can retrieve the E911 profile associated with the subscriber from the HSS and route the call to an appropriate PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) based on an analysis of the information in the E911 profile.

While traveling to a destination, potentially traversing geo-fences along the way, a routine on a mobile device estimates arrival at the next geo-fence and performs a location check at the estimated arrival time. Between iterations of this process, the routine may correct the “time of next check” based on correction factors. When the mobile device arrives at the destination, it switches to terrestrial location determining services. In addition, the mobile device monitors its sensors to determine whether motion is gross motion which may warrant performing a location probe or whether motion is not gross motion, in which case location probes may be disabled. 1.

Methods and devices for optimizing on-time throughput in a wireless network. An enhanced node B (eNodeB) integrating two or more air interfaces schedules transmissions, for a measurement period, over at least one of the two or more air interfaces. The eNodeB estimates, based on the transmissions, a metric of on-time throughput for the user equipment (UE) within the cell, where on-time throughput is a measure of an amount of data that arrives at a destination before a delay threshold has been reached and at a bit-rate greater than or equal to a target bit-rate. The eNodeB then assigns UEs within the cell to an air interface of the two or more air interface to maximize the metric of on-time throughput for the UEs within the cell.
