Abstract: A mobile terminal and system and method for determining the geographic location of the mobile terminal. A current cell identification number is determined for a cell in which the mobile terminal is located. The geographic location of the mobile terminal is determined based on data including at least one geographic position stored in a database and associated in the database with data representing the current cell identification number. The database may be updated with the geographic location and the current cell identification number.

Abstract: A keyless entry system for a vehicle comprises a portable remote unit and a vehicle-mounted base unit supporting two-way communications. The remote unit includes a first transceiver and a control and is operative to transmit a command signal to the base unit in response to actuation of the control by a user. The base unit comprises a second transceiver and a control circuit, which controls a function in a vehicle. The base unit outputs control signals to control a vehicle function in response to receipt of commands from the remote unit. The base unit also transmits an acknowledgement signal to the remote unit responsive to the command signal.
