ENHANCED LOCATION BASED SERVICES

摘要

Location information (e.g., GPS information) pertaining to the location of a device may be integrated into a distributed antenna system (DAS) to enhance location based services. This may be accomplished via a system that filters and combines GPS information with DAS information. Utilization of the enhanced location based services system may enhance accuracy performance of indoor location services and improve round-trip time (RTT) location responses associated with network assisted GPS (e.g., A-GPS) location requests for services from indoor calls.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
responsive to receiving an indication of a call, obtaining location information pertaining to a location of a source of the call; providing a location signal; receiving, from a plurality of transceivers, a respective plurality of responses to the provided location signal; determining a time at which each response of the plurality of responses was received; determining a location of each of the plurality of transceivers; determining a calculated location of the source based on the determined time at which each response of the plurality of response was received and the location of each of the plurality of transceivers; augmenting the location information with the calculated location; receiving information to be distributed via a distributed antenna system; generating combined information by combining the received location information and the information to be distributed via the distributed antenna system; and providing the combined information.
