Patent number: 10038978Abstract: Techniques for mobile network geolocation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for mobile network geolocation. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured to determine that a mobile device is on a travel path. The one or more processors may also be configured to determine one or more candidate locations of the mobile device based on data associated with the travel path. The one or more processors may further be configured to determine at least one candidate route associated with the mobile device along the travel path comprised from one or more candidate locations.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Christopher Michael Murphy, Michael Flanagan, Walter Featherstone, Philip Geoffery Claridge, Gareth James Smith, John Joseph Holden

Patent number: 9888344Abstract: Techniques for multiple pass geolocation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for multiple pass geolocation. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured to conduct a first geolocation pass to identify one or more geolocation estimates under consideration. The one or more processors may also be configured to conduct at least one additional geolocation pass to refine one or more geolocation estimates under consideration. The one or more processors may further be configured to determine an approximate location of one or more mobile devices within an estimated coverage area of a network based on at least the first geolocation pass and the at least one additional geolocation pass.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2014Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Stefan Ulrich Thiel, Gareth James Smith, Christopher Michael Murphy, Peter Kenington, Howard John Thomas

Patent number: 9872145Abstract: A device may obtain event information regarding a set of user equipment. The device may determine a first location for a particular user equipment, of the set of user equipment, based on the event information and a stored set of parameters. The device may provide information associated with identifying the first location. The device may determine a second location for the particular user equipment based on the information associated with identifying the first location and after determining the first location. The device may provide information associated with identifying the second location. The device may update the stored set of parameters as a set of updated parameters. The device may use the set of updated parameters to determine another location.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: David Christopher Wyles, John Joseph Holden, David Antony Razzetti, Gareth James Smith, Peter Kenington

Patent number: 9584966Abstract: A device may be configured to obtain metric information relating to an operating environment. The metric information may describe a signal strength or a signal quality associated with one or more calls placed in the operating environment. The device may be configured to obtain a threshold for the metric information. The device may be configured to determine indoor/outdoor classification information that identifies whether the one or more calls are classified as an indoor call or an outdoor call or an unclassified call based on whether the metric information satisfies the threshold. The device may be configured to determine geolocation information identifying one or more geographical locations associated with the one or more calls. The device may be configured to provide the indoor/outdoor classification information and the geolocation information.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Stefan Ulrich Thiel, Gareth James Smith, John Joseph Holden, Ryan Clark
