Abstract:
The messaging protocol modifies current CDMA systems to initiate a position location function while providing minimal interference to the system and preserving battery life. There are circumstances when a mobile position location may need to be performed when the mobile 40 is in a mobile idle state, a system access state or a traffic channel state. These location requests can come from a serving base station or from the mobile. In addition, for certain location services, the position of the mobile may have to be located periodically. The messaging protocol describes how the position location function is to be initiated when the mobile is in various call processing states and identifies the messaging needed between the serving base station and the mobile. The serving base station transmits a location order message that includes location parameter data to the mobile. The mobile then transmits a location attempt message to the base station. The location attempt message is formatted according to the location parameter data and includes at least one location probe having the mobile identification number or a probe number. The CDMA system then determines the position of the mobile based on the location attempt.
Abstract:
A core network architecture for supporting an internet protocol based network is disclosed. The system includes a base station which is configured to convert a signal from a first network to an internet protocol network signal and send the converted signal through the internet protocol base network. The network also includes a gateway which is configured to receive the converted signal and deploy the converted signal through the internet protocol base network. In this sense, the internet protocol base network manages the call mobility and delivery of the signal. The base station in this disclosure may be a femto base station and the first network may be a code division multi-access (CDMA) network.
Abstract:
A method for provisioning, registering and authenticating a mobile phone on a base station is provided. The method includes receiving an addition request (201) for the addition of a mobile station to a base station authorization record via an interface. The method continues with creating an entry for tne mobile station (207), where the entry includes mobile station information, and receiving a registration request including request information from the mobile station to register to receive base station based services via the associated internet multimedia subsystem network. The method also includes authorizing registration on the IMS network based at least in part on the request information.
