Method for detecting, on a telecommunication network side, the complexity, on the telecommunication network side, of a telecommunication link between two subscribers in order to determine the rate, and device for realising the same
TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a method for the optimal definition of the complexity of a desired or existing telecommunication link between two subscribers (1, 7) in order to determine the rate, where one subscriber is a mobile subscriber having a mobile radiotelephone, while the other is a fixed subscriber connected to a fixed network.Abstract:
The present invention relates to a telecommunication network and to a method for the optimal definition, on a telecommunication network side, of the complexity (6), on the telecommunication network side, of a desired or existing telecommunication link (6) between two subscribers (1, 7) in order to determine the rate. According to this invention, one subscriber is a mobile subscriber (1) having a mobile radiotelephone, while the other is a fixed subscriber (7) connected to a fixed network. The position (2, radio cell 23a) of the mobile subscriber (1) is then detected. A local call is detected in the case of a telecommunication link (40) between the mobile subscriber (1) and a fixed subscriber (4) whose connection to the fixed network is located, due to the fixed network code, within a local area (3) surrounding the position (2, radio cell 23a) of the mobile subscriber (1). A toll call, which is relatively more expensive than a local call, is detected in the case of a telecommunication link (6) between the mobile subscriber (1) and a fixed subscriber (7) whose connection to the fixed network is located, due to the fixed network code, out of a local area (3) that can be predetermined and that surrounds the position (radio cell 23a) of the mobile subscriber (1).read more

System and method for providing wireless communications services
TL;DR: In this article, a method for providing wireless communications services including setting a given rate associated with a given period of time for the wireless communication services in a service area for at least one subscriber was proposed.
Patent
Base station identification based location quality data determination
TL;DR: In this paper, the location quality can be based on an error attributed to a location determined based on historical data related to an identified base station, which can improve location quality by reducing the error.

TL;DR: In this article, a cellular telephone system includes a plurality of cell sites and a mobile telephone switching office, and call management, including selection of a cell site most appropriate for a call associated with a mobile unit, are made based on the geographic location of the mobile unit as opposed to the strength of signal associated with the call.
Patent
Positioning system having an RF-measurements databank
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved positioning system and method for use in a wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations each having a corresponding coverage area is presented. And the intersections of the contour shapes define a bounding polygon area that describes the position of a mobile unit in terms of minimum and maximum error estimate.
