  • Publication number: 20090247117
    Abstract: A cellular telephone system has call management decisions made based on the exact geographic location of the mobile unit. These call management decisions include billing and taxing decisions, cell site selection, frequency selection and even cellular system selection. The decisions are continuously updated during a call whereby decisions can be made and changed regardless of where a call originated. Cell site location, and even cellular system selection, can be made in a specific manner to best serve the needs of the mobile user, the cellular system as well as the public. It is even possible for a cellular system to locate one or more of its cell sites in the geographic area served by another cellular system. In some cases, cellular systems might even share cell sites.

  • Patent number: 5815814
    Abstract: A cellular telephone system (20) includes a plurality of cell sites (14) and a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO,12). Call management, including selection of a cell site most appropriate for a call associated with a mobile unit (M,M') are made based on the geographic location of the mobile unit as opposed to the strength of the signal associated with the call. The geographic location of the mobile unit is precisely determined using triangulation, a NAVSTAR global positioning system, or its equivalent. Each mobile unit includes a GPS receiver (24) that receives information from a geostationary satellite (22) to determine the precise location of the mobile unit. This position information is relayed to the cell site initially managing the mobile unit, and the mobile unit is handed off to a cell site that is most appropriate for the call. Initial selection of an entrance cell site is made based on signal strength, but further call management decisions are made based on location of the mobile unit.
