A METHOD OF OBTAINING A HIGHER LOCATION PRECISION OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing the number of base stations used for paging a mobile station by obtaining a higher location precision of the mobile station by providing a first location update at a first location register from a wireless communication device (515, 520); sending a second location update to a second location register in response to the first location update (525, 530); and determining the location of the wireless communication device based on at least one of the first location register and the second location register (535), wherein the first location register corresponds to a first location area and the second location register corresponds to a second location area. The invention proposes to include a universal location area server (305) to perform a correlation between the first location register and a second location register to obtain the reduced set of base stations.
