Method And Apparatus For Performing Position Determination With A Short Circuit Call Flow

View page
US Patent:
7421277, Sep 2, 2008
Filed:
Feb 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/561801
Inventors:
Kirk Allan Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
4554562, 4554561
Abstract:
For a call flow to perform position determination, a network () sends to a user equipment (UE) () an indication (e. g. , a request for permission) to perform a position fix for the UE (). The UE () responds by sending to the network an acknowledgment (e. g. , a grant of permission) to perform the position fix. The UE () selectively sends a position estimate for itself to the network (), typically along with the acknowledgment. The network () may initiate location processing if (1) a position estimate is not received from the UE () or (2) a position estimate is received from the UE () but the network () decides not to use this position estimate. In this case, the network () and the UE () perform location processing to obtain a position fix for the UE (). However, if a position estimate is received from the UE () and the network () decides to use the position estimate, then the location processing is bypassed or short circuited.

Location Based Service (Lbs) System, Method And Apparatus For Triggering Of Mobile Station Lbs Applications

View page
US Patent:
7505757, Mar 17, 2009
Filed:
Feb 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/770878
Inventors:
Douglas Rowitch - Del Mar CA, US
Kirk Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04B 1/04
H04M 3/42
H04M 3/493
H04Q 7/22
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455411, 4554561, 4554562, 4554563, 4554142, 455466
Abstract:
An application executed within a mobile station to be triggered only by a network element, such as a mobile positioning center (MPC) or a Mobile Center (MC). The network element is coupled to a base station. The network element is responsible for authorizing an application that is either resident within the mobile station or that is run in a device that is resident elsewhere in the network. The mobile station communicates with the network element over a communication link through the base station and other infrastructure components. The mobile station will only respond to attempts to trigger particular operations (e. g. , run particular applications) if the mobile station receives a short message services (SMS) message as defined by Interim Specification 637A (IS-637A) which is published by the Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA)/Electronics Industry Association (EIA). More specifically, that SMS message must include an SMS Teleservice Identifier that has a particular pre-assigned value.

Kirk Allan Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04W 4/00
US Classification:
4554561, 4554562, 4554563, 34235729
Abstract:

Adaptive Wake-Up Period Of Roaming Wireless Terminals

View page
US Patent:
8060119, Nov 15, 2011
Filed:
Aug 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/504237
Inventors:
Ron Keidar - Haifa, IL
Alejandro R. Holcman - San Diego CA, US
Kirk A. Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Liron Manor - Haifa, IL
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/56
H04W 28/06
H04W 24/00
US Classification:
455458, 4554352, 455515, 370329
Abstract:
A method for controlling a wireless terminal operating in a hibernation cycle alternating between a wake mode and a hibernation mode includes communicating with a first wireless network during a first waking period having a first duration, and with a second wireless network during a second waking period following the first waking period. The second waking period is extended to a second duration, greater than the first duration, responsively to detecting that the second wireless network is different from the first wireless network. Network information relating to the second wireless network is received during the second waking period.

Location Reporting With Secure User Plane Location (Supl)

View page
US Patent:
8068056, Nov 29, 2011
Filed:
Aug 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/510332
Inventors:
Andreas Wachter - San Francisco CA, US
Stephen Edge - Escondido CA, US
Kirk Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
G01S 3/00
G01S 19/09
G01S 19/46
H04W 4/02
H04W 64/00
US Classification:
342451, 4554561, 4554565, 3423574, 34235746
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting periodic and other location services with Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) and other location architectures are described. The techniques can provide position estimates for a SUPL enabled terminal (SET) to a SUPL agent periodically and/or based on trigger events. A Home SUPL Location Platform (H-SLP) receives from the SUPL agent a request for position estimates for the SET. The H-SLP starts a SUPL location session with the SET. For each of at least one reporting event during the location session, the H-SLP obtains a position estimate for the SET and sends the position estimate to the SUPL agent. The position estimate may be derived by the SET and sent to the H-SLP. Alternatively, the position estimate may be derived by the H-SLP based on measurements from the SET.

Method And Apparatus For Supporting Positioning Of Roaming Mobile Stations

View page
US Patent:
8131290, Mar 6, 2012
Filed:
Aug 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/844936
Inventors:
Gaurav Lamba - Los Altos CA, US
Kirk Allan Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Barbara L. Haskins - Mountain View CA, US
Zoltan Biacs - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455433, 455411
Abstract:
Techniques to support positioning of roaming mobile stations are described. A roaming mobile station communicates with a visited network and has a data connection to a home network. The mobile station sends a request for positioning assistance to a home position determining entity (H-PDE) in the home network. The H-PDE determines that base station almanac (BSA) data applicable for the mobile station is not locally available and sends a request for location information for the mobile station to a designated network entity. This entity may be a BSA server storing BSA data for different networks or a visited PDE (V-PDE) in the visited network. The H-PDE receives location information (e. g. , BSA data, assistance data, and/or a position estimate for the mobile station) from the designated network entity and provides positioning assistance to the mobile station based on the received location information.

US Patent:
8185128, May 22, 2012
Filed:
Nov 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/564680
Inventors:
Gaurav Lamba - Sunnyvale CA, US
Kirk Allan Burroughs - Alamo CA, US
Ie-Hong Lin - Fremont CA, US
Sanjeev Khushu - San Diego CA, US
Zhimin Du - Beijing, CN
Yufei Wang - Beijing, CN
Assignee:
QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA
International Classification:
G01C 21/30
US Classification:
4554561, 701207
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting location services with roaming are described. A mobile station interacts with a home mobile positioning center (H-MPC) in a home network for location services even when roaming. The mobile station communicates with a visited network for a data session and receives a request for its location. The mobile station sends first information (e. g. , SID and NID) indicative of its current network location to the H-MPC. The H-MPC determines a serving mobile positioning center (S-MPC) in the visited network based on the first information. The S-MPC determines a serving position determining entity (S-PDE) in the visited network based on the first information. Depending on the selected positioning method, the H-MPC may receive an S-PDE address or a position estimate of the mobile station from the S-MPC and may forward this information to mobile station. The mobile station may communicate with the S-PDE for positioning using the S-PDE address.
