Abstract: Methods, systems, and arrangements enable a mobile equipment (ME) to provide notification when a preselected number is called. In accordance with certain embodiments, upon the calling of a preselected number, the ME sends a notification to the network in addition to setting up a voice call to the dialed number. Preselected number(s) may include emergency numbers (e.g., “911”), portal-defined numbers, etc. The notification may include dialed digits, time of call, and/or location information originating from the ME. When location information is included with the notification, the location information may be forwarded to the portal for further processing and possible additional transmission. Also, location information from the notification can reduce response time and signaling capacity usage when the network responds to an inquiry regarding location from an emergency service provider.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and arrangements facilitate information interexchange between a telecommunications network and an information service provider. For example, a business-to-business (B2B) engine includes one or more logic modules for interfacing with the telecommunications network and with the information service provider. The B2B engine facilitates the reporting of, e.g., realtime information from the telecommunications network to the information service provider. This realtime information may include subscriber unit location that is proactively sent by the subscriber unit to the B2B engine for forwarding to the information service provider. To avoid possibly congesting the telecommunications network, the B2B engine is empowered to monitor the number of proactively-transmitted location messages and to limit them if they exceed a defined threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and arrangements facilitate information interexchange between a telecommunications network and an information service provider (InfSP). For example, a business-to-business (B2B) engine includes one or more logic modules for interfacing with the telecommunications network and with the InfSP. The B2B engine facilitates the reporting of, e.g., realtime information from the telecommunications network to the InfSP. This realtime information may include subscriber unit location and may be acquired and/or reported based on a mapping data structure in, e.g., the B2B engine. The data structure maps a service class to one or more parameters that dictate or provide guidance with respect to which parameters are relevant, as well as their respective values, and a mechanism for achieving the stipulated parameters. The mechanism may include specific network nodes/entities as well as frequency of acquisition to thereby enable location-tailored content data and/or services to be provided to a subscriber.
