Abstract:
In a mobile wireless communications device, a method comprises receiving a network location request at the mobile wireless communications device, measuring a signal and sending (440) a response, based on the signal measurement, to the network location request after the occurrence of at least one of a variance of multiple measurements on the signal satisfies a condition, and a rate of change of standard deviation of multiple measurements on the signal satisfies a condition.
Abstract:
A method for allowing a radiotelephone to scan for alternate radiotelephone systems, where each cellular radiotelephone system is within a corresponding geographic area and each cell has a base station providing paging and voice communication, includes a first step (304) of registering the radiotelephone on a radiotelephone system. A next step includes establishing (306) whether alternate technology scanning has been enabled for the radiotelephone. If alternate technology scanning is disabled, the radiotelephone receives paging messages from the base station and acknowledges the paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone (316). If alternate technology scanning is enabled (312), the radiotelephone scans (314) for an alternate technology while the base station repeats any paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone and ignores a lack of acknowledgement from the radiotelephone for paging messages addressed to the radiotelephone.
Abstract:
A method for requesting location information, for example, Enhanced Observed Time of Arrival timing information, from mobile wireless communications in wireless communications networks. The exemplary location request (300) includes multiple response interval field (310) specifying intervals at which multiple responses to the location request must be sent or maximum intervals between which multiple responses to the location request must be sent, a final response time field (320) specifying a maximum time interval during which a final response to the location request must be sent, and an initial response time field (330) specifying when an initial response to the location request must be sent.
