  • Method and system for verifying the position of a mobile station using checkpoints
    Patent number: 6640106
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and wireless communication system (100) for verifying a position of a mobile station (102). The system (100) determines whether the mobile station (102) is located within a checkpoint area (130). If so, the system (100) then compares a mobile station position of the mobile station (102) within the checkpoint area (130) and a checkpoint position (128) corresponding to the checkpoint area (130) to generate a result. The system (100) thereafter determines whether the result exceeds a predetermined error tolerance. The system (100) indicates an error associated with the position of the mobile station (102) if the result exceeds the predetermined error tolerance.

  • Method and system for verifying the position of a mobile station based on multiple positions
    Publication number: 20030054835
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and wireless communication system (100) for verifying a position of a mobile station (102). Upon detection of an activation by the mobile station (102), the system (100) compares a first mobile station position and a second mobile station position to generate a result. The system (100) then determines whether the result exceeds a predetermined error tolerance. The system (100) indicates an error associated with the position of the mobile station (102) if the result exceeds the predetermined error tolerance.

  • Display of geographic locations with correlated signal quality measurements
    Patent number: 5758264
    Abstract: A visual presentation of a simulated communication unit moving through a wireless communication system is combined with an audio presentation of speech that a user would hear (311) if the user were placed in the same radio environment. In addition, both audible and visual indicia of RF interference may also be provided (107, 109), with or without audio playback, to aid in designing around interference sources and their intensities. A set of error masks and corresponding audio files are created (305), wherein each file contains the same audio track, but based on speech error masks created at different vehicle speeds and signal to noise ranges. Real-time playback of the audible signal with noise is useful in planning for particular needs of a wireless communication system planner.
