  • Publication number: 20230199540
    Abstract: A method includes generating a test call from a user device to a public safety access point, wherein the test call is generated on a schedule, wherein the test call is configured to test call parameters, and wherein the test call parameters comprise a planned base station site and a planned base station sector, acquiring call detail data associated with the test call, in which the call detail data includes an identification of an actual base station site and an actual base station sector used for the test call and the public safety access point receiving the test call, and wherein the actual base station site collects the call detail data, determining whether the call detail data matches the test call parameters, and generating a pass or fail determination based on the determining step.

  • Patent number: 9813876
    Abstract: Location information (e.g., GPS information) pertaining to the location of a device may be integrated into a distributed antenna system (DAS) to enhance location based services. This may be accomplished via a system that filters and combines GPS information with DAS information. Utilization of the enhanced location based services system may enhance accuracy performance of indoor location services and improve round-trip time (RTT) location responses associated with network assisted GPS (e.g., A-GPS) location requests for services from indoor calls.
