Abstract: A mobile device, wireless network and their method of operation provide both on-line (connected) navigation operation, as well as off-line navigation from a local database within the mobile device. Routing according to the navigation system can be controlled by traffic congestion measurements made by the wireless network that allow the navigation system to select the optimum route based on expected trip duration.

Abstract: A mobile wireless network and a method of operation provide analysis of mobile wireless device communications and suggested corrective initiated upon detecting communications performance issues. In some embodiments, the operations include blocking access to location information pertaining to a mobile wireless device based on the state of access flag that is maintained in the network for the mobile wireless device.

Abstract: A mobile device, wireless network and their method of operation provide suggestion of corrective actions of the network based on performance evaluation of communications between a connected mobile device and the communications network. The communications network tracks location of mobile devices and stores performance data of connections between the mobile devices and the network. The performance data is referenced to expected performance data to determine whether a fault exists and a corrective action is suggested when the fault exists. Access to the location information by another computer is controlled by a preference flag set in response to a communication from the mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile wireless network and a method of operation provide tracking of mobile devices and case file generation initiated upon detecting communications errors. The case files contain trends corresponding to the communications errors by analyzing parameters of the communications. The trends are compared to stored patterns that represent particular error types and resolutions so that corrective action can be taken on the network.

Abstract: A mobile wireless network and a method of operation provide tracking of mobile devices either in a passive mode or an active mode. In the passive mode, fault detection triggers generation of a case file associated with the device experiencing the fault. In the active mode, a user of the system can specify tracking mobile devices by sector or one or more mobile devices by identifier. Notifications can be generated in response to detection of a fault, or when a device enters a predetermined geographic region.

Abstract: A mobile wireless network and a method of operation provide directional assistance in response to an Internet query. The directional assistance is provided from a location of the querying device to a destination that may be selectively prompted based on whether the destination is a nearby business, a type of business, a street address, or another mobile device or fixed telephone location. The location of the querying device is also selectively determined depending on whether the querying device is a wireless device such as a mobile telephone, or whether the device has a presumed fixed location, such as an ordinary telephone connected to a public-switched telephone network (PSTN).

Abstract: A mobile wireless network and a method of operation provide a hierarchical selection from among various location methods in populating a user location database. A digital signature technique is used to determine a location of a mobile wireless communications device. The location is compared with received signal-strength indication (RSSI) measurements to determine if the location provided by the digital signature technique is reasonable, and if so, the digital signal measurement location result is stored in the database. Otherwise, the user location database controller computes the location in conformity with the RSSI measurements. Triangulation measurements in combination with the RSSI measurements may be used to compute a prospective location that is used if the digital signature-determined location is unreasonable and also tested for validity by comparison to the RSSI measurements. The prospective location can also be tested for reasonableness by comparing the RSSI measurements.

Abstract: For a wireless network, a tuning system in which mobile phones using the network are routinely located. With the location of the mobile phones identified, load adjustments for the system are easily accomplished so that the wireless network is not subject to an overload situation. Ideally the location of the mobile phones is accomplished whether the mobile phones are transmitting voice data or not.
