Integrated Land Mobile Radios (LMRs) with Cellular Location Nodes

摘要

A system and method to locate a person who happens to be carrying multiple devices when one network (LMR or cell) is incapable of providing a current location of a mobile person for whatever reason (network outage, weather-related outage, emergency, etc.), while the other network (cell or LMR) is able to provide current location information.

主权项

1. A method of providing location of an LMR device in a cellular network, comprising:
storing, in a physical land mobile radio (LMR) wireless network location service, a current location of a given LMR device; determining a correlation of location between said given LMR device and a given cellular device; PULLing said current location of said given LMR device into a physical GMLC server; and storing said current location of said given LMR device, and an identity of said given LMR device, and an identity of said given cellular device, into an LMR to cell identity mapping database; wherein said current location of said given LMR device is accessible in a cellular wireless network to requests for location of said given cellular device.
