Abstract: Methods and systems for generating dynamic voicemail greetings are disclosed. According to an implementation, a voice call made from a caller to a recipient is directed to a voicemail server when the recipient is unreachable. The voicemail server may determine a relationship between the caller and the recipient. The voicemail server may further determine at least one of location data, event data, or time data associated with the recipient. The voicemail server may obtain the real-time location and event data from the recipient's phone and combine it with the saved location and event data to determine the content for the voicemail greeting message. The voicemail server may further select one or more templates based on the relationship between the caller and the recipient and the location and event content and generate a dynamic greeting message to be transmitted to the caller.

Abstract: A technique of selecting a location area for paging of a mobile device in the wireless communication network is described herein. The technique includes registering the mobile device with a first cell within the wireless communication network, where the cell is included within a primary location area and one or more secondary location areas. The technique also includes determining a default location area index for the mobile device, where the default location area index identifies a default location area for the mobile device. The technique further includes receiving an indication from the mobile device to change from the default location area index to a secondary location area index. The secondary location area index identifies a secondary location that at least includes a sub-portion of the primary location area.

Abstract: A mobile phone or other mobile device is configured to compute a location code based on Wi-Fi or other wireless networking configuration parameters. The location code is computed as a cryptographic hash of the configuration parameters and is provided to a telecommunications system that supports Wi-Fi or other WLAN voice services. The telecommunications system maintains one or more location tables, each of which indicates multiple location codes and corresponding street addresses. When processing an emergency 9-1-1 call to an emergency response service, the system looks up the street address of the calling mobile device based on the most recently provided location code, and provides the street address to the emergency response service.

Abstract: In a cellular telecommunication system having multiple cells and respectively associated base stations, a user equipment (UE) is paged by sending a paging request to the base station that most recently communicated with the UE. This base station pages the UE and upon failing to receive a response forwards the paging request to its the base stations of neighboring cells Each of these base stations pages the UE and upon failing to receive a response similarly forwards the paging request to further base stations of neighboring cells. This process is repeated to repeatedly expand the paging area until the UE is located or until a forwarding limit has been reached.
