摘要:
An Applications Processor (14) including a centralized database system is used in a wireless location system (WLS). The APs 14 may be used to manage resources in the WLS, including signal collection systems (SCSs 10) and TDOA location processors (TLPs 12). Each AP 14 contains a database containing triggers for the WLS. The WLS can be programmed to locate only certain pre-determined types of transmissions. When a transmission of a pre-determined type occurs, then the WLS is triggered to begin location processing. Each AP 14 also contains applications interfaces that permit a variety of applications to securely access the WLS. These applications may access location records in real time or non-real time, create or delete certain types of triggers, or cause the WLS to take other actions. Each AP 14 is also capable of certain post-processing functions.
摘要:
A system and method provides multiple sequential call-forwarding transfers to a sequence of C-numbers within a conventional cellular radio communications system by providing a unique identifier for each call and enabling a home location register (HLR) to coordinate and disseminate multiple calls made to the same mobile station. The HLR stores, within a subscriber database, a sequence of C-numbers on a call-forwarding priority list to which calls are to be forwarded in the event a call cannot be completed to the mobile station. Each C-number is associated with sets of unique identification numbers and time stamps. When an incoming call is received at an originating mobile switching center (MSC), a transfer-to-number request message, containing a unique number identifying the request, is transmitted from the MSC to the HLR containing the subscriber database. In response, the HLR analyzes the request, searches the C-number priority list, and transmits to the MSC, the optimum C-number for completing the call. The HLR then updates the time stamp associated with that particular C-number and unique identifier. The MSC then attempts to complete the call. If the call cannot be completed, the process is repeated until the call is completed, the call is terminated, or the call-forwarding priority list is exhausted.
