METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC LOCATION-BASED ZONE ASSIGNMENT FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method for dynamic location-based zone assignment for a wireless communication network (56) is provided. The method utilizes the location (60) of a user's wireless communication device (53) relative to a number of network zones in the wireless communication network. The network zones and their respective coverage areas change from time-to-time. The method comprises receiving the location of the user's wireless communication device and accessing a geographical area definition of the user, wherein the geographical area definition includes at least one operating zone. The geographical area definition is translated to a current network area definition. The location of the user's wireless communication device (53) is compared to the current network area definition in order to locate the user's wireless communication device (53) relative to the operating zones. A record is then assigned based on which operating zone the user's wireless communication device is located.
