Determination of wireless device movement to and from an area of interest using a route update radius

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for determining device movement to and from an area of interest using a route update radius. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying an area of interest within a geographic area and determining a first access node of a wireless communication network having a first wireless signal coverage area that includes at least part of the area of interest. The method further provides setting a route update radius to a distance that reflects the size of the at least part of the area of interest and transferring the route update radius to the wireless communication device.

主权项

1. A method of operating a wireless communication system, comprising:
identifying an area of interest within a geographic area; determining a first access node of a wireless communication network having a first wireless signal coverage area that includes at least part of the area of interest; determining a route update radius and transferring the route update radius to a wireless communication device wherein the route update radius comprises a threshold distance the wireless communication device can travel from the first access node; determining if the wireless communication device travels a distance exceeding the route update radius, and if the wireless communication device travels a distance exceeding the route update radius, then transferring a location update from the wireless communication device to the first access node.
