Abstract:
A communication system comprises a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service system and a location determination system. The VoIP service system is configured to receive a call request for an emergency service from a user, process the call request to determine a wireless communication device identifier associated with the user, and transfer a location request for delivery to a location determination system in a wireless network serving the wireless communication device. The location determination system is configured to receive the location request, process the location request to determine a location of the wireless communication device and a possession confidence metric that indicates a level of confidence that the user is in possession of the wireless communication device, and transfer a location response for delivery to the VoIP service system. The VoIP service system is configured to, if the possession confidence metric exceeds a threshold, transfer the call request for the emergency service for delivery to an emergency service provider that serves the location.

Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for adjusting access node scanning based on the velocity of a wireless communication device. In a particular embodiment, a method provides scanning for a first wireless access node to determine a received power level and comparing the received power level to a threshold power level. If the received power level exceeds the threshold, the method provides exchanging communications with the first wireless access node. The method further provides determining a velocity of the wireless device and adjusting the threshold power level based on the velocity. The method further provides scanning for a second wireless access node to determine a second received power level and comparing the second received power level to the adjusted threshold power level. If the second received power level exceeds the adjusted threshold, the method provides exchanging communications with the second wireless access node.

US Classification:
370254, 370401, 4554042
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) emergency calls via a wireless communication network. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving an emergency call request from a VoIP communication network initiated by a VoIP communication client operating on the VoIP communication network. The method further provides processing the emergency call request to determine a wireless device associated with the VoIP communication client. The method further provides determining a location of the wireless device and determining a public safety answering point (PSAP) based on the location of the wireless device. The method further provides establishing an emergency call between the VoIP communication client and the PSAP via the wireless communication system and the VoIP communication network based on the location of the wireless device.

Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods to provide data session continuity between wireless networks. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving a request to create a data session for a wireless communication device exchanging communications with a wireless local area network via a wireless access point. The method further provides determining an access point identifier for the wireless access point and selecting a control system for a cellular communication network of a plurality of cellular communication networks based on the access point identifier. The method further provides anchoring the data session to the control system.
A first authorization system authorizes a mobile device to access over a first wireless network a plurality of services provided by a plurality of service systems. A second authorization system authorizes the mobile device to access the plurality of services over a second wireless network. The second authorization system also transfers location information corresponding to a location of the mobile device to the first authorization system. A first service system of the plurality of service systems provides a first service of the plurality of services. The first service system receives a request for the first service and transfers a request to the first authorization system for the location information. The first service system receives the location information, processes the location information, and selects a positioning satellite based on the location information. The first service system transfers a message indicating the positioning satellite to the mobile device.
