DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to address this need and others, the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for billing in a wireless communication system.
The method includes the steps of receiving a mobile identification number uniquely identifying a mobile unit, performing a multilateration location measurement based on a nonperiodic signal received from the mobile unit, retrieving a location zone from a memory based on the mobile identification number, comparing the multilateration location measurement with the location zone, and generating a billing record for the mobile unit.
The apparatus includes a base station, a location measurement device and a memory in communication with the base station, and a processor responsive to the base station and the memory.
The base station receives a mobile identification number uniquely identifying a mobile unit.
The location measurement device performs a multilateration location measurement based on a nonperiodic signal received from the mobile unit.
The memory includes a location zone associated with the mobile identification number.
The processor compares the multilateration location measurement with a retrieved location zone and generates a billing record for the mobile unit.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a wireless communication system is provided.
The wireless communication system comprises a base transceiver station, a mobile unit location module, a transcoder responsive to the base transceiver station and the mobile unit location module, and a location storage module comprising a location function controller and a location cache.
The invention itself, together with its intended advantages, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
