METHODS OF SETTING UP A CALL WITH, AND DETERMINING THE DIRECTION OF, A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

A method of setting up a call with a mobile communication device, the method comprising transmitting a call request to the device over a wireless link, wherein the call request is adapted to cause the device to transmit a locator signal whilst blocking a connection management process which would otherwise cause the mobile communication device to provide a visual or audible alert. The locator signal can then be used by a direction finder to locate the direction of the device. Channel information is transmitted to the direction finder, the channel information identifying a channel of the locator signal.
