Abstract: A device includes a transceiver and control logic. The control logic (a) receives one or more first signals carrying corresponding one or more cellular tower identifiers that each identifies a cellular tower, (b) determines signal strengths of the one or more first signals and a location of the device based on the one or more cellular tower identifiers, (c) receives a second signal corresponding to an emergency call, and (d) transfers, via a cellular network or a packet switched network, a third signal carrying an indicator of the location of the device to a remote device to aid emergency personnel in identifying the location of the device, the control logic implementing the emergency call as one of a cellular-based call via the cellular network or a VoIP call via the packet switched network.
Abstract: The methods and devices of the present disclosure may be used to enable non-carrier dependent, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) femtocells for in-service use with one or more mobile handheld devices. The VoIP femtocell generally includes at least one Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver; and program logic that, at least in part, performs a broadcast channel selection protocol and a handheld reselection protocol, so as to enable one or more mobile handheld devices to select the VoIP femtocell for in-service use. In certain embodiments, the broadcast channel selection protocol includes a configuration phase and a broadcast phase.
