Definitions
- the present invention pertains in general to the planning and deployment of a wireless telephone system, and more particularly, to restricting the operation of wireless telephones to delineated geographical locations wherein the geographical location of the wireless telephone is ascertained by the wireless telephone system.
- GPS Globalstar Satellite System
- a wireless telephone system operates to ascertain the geographical location of wireless telephones.
- the wireless telephone system may ascertain the geographical location through a mapping of the position of the wireless telephone in a satellite reference coordinate system, and then converting the position to an earth reference coordinate system.
- the wireless telephone system may ascertain the geographical location through triangulation using a plurality of satellites or base stations which monitor wireless telephone signal transmissions. Regardless of the mechanism used for the system to determine location, a comparison is made between the ascertained geographical location and database information pertaining to authorized/un-authorized geographical locations to determine whether telephone operation is authorized.
- a controller within the wireless telephone system then instructs the wireless telephone to disable itself when the wireless telephone is determined to be located in an unauthorized location and enable itself when located in an authorized location.
- Figure 1 is a diagram of a satellite based wireless telephone system incorporating the present invention
- Figure 2 is a terrestrial based wireless telephone system incorporating the present invention
- Figure 3 is a flow diagram of a method for implementing the present invention in a wireless telephone system.
- a satellite based wireless telephone system 90 including a plurality of the satellites 100A-C, a terrestrial portion 110 of the wireless telephone system 90, and a database 120.
- Each of the plurality of satellites 100A-C communicates with the terrestrial portion 110 of the wireless telephone system 90.
- more than one satellite of the plurality of satellites 100A-C may receive transmissions from a wireless telephone 130, typically only one satellite 100A communicates with the wireless telephone 130 at any given time.
- Communication between the wireless telephone 130 and a public switched telephone network 140 is established via the plurality of satellites 100A-C and the terrestrial portion 110 of the wireless telephone system 90.
- a first controller 150 which instructs a second controller 133 within the wireless telephone 130 to disable or enable operation based on the location of the wireless telephone 130.
- a radio transmission source such as the wireless telephone 130.
- a method known as Satellite To Earth (SATTOE) maps a position of the wireless telephone 130 in a satellite reference coordinate system and then converts the position to an earth reference coordinate system.
- the satellite to earth mapping operation uses a well known rotation transformation matrix, knowledge of a satellite antenna beam footprint, the position of the satellite, and the communication path of the satellite to determine a rough geographical location of the wireless telephone 130.
- the satellite to earth mapping operation uses additional information such as the results of calculations performed on a Random Access Channel (RACH) and a Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH) .
- RACH Random Access Channel
- DCCH Dedicated Control Channel
- Another well known method to determine the geographical location of the wireless telephone 130 in the satellite based wireless telephone system 90 uses two or more satellites 100A-C to triangulate the geographical location of the wireless telephone 130.
- the wireless telephone system 90 ascertains the geographical location of the wireless telephone 130 and accesses the database 120 which contains information pertaining to the authorization to operate the wireless telephone 130 in the ascertained geographical location. Based on a comparison of the information contained in the database 120 against the ascertained geographical location, the first controller 150, which is part of the wireless telephone system 90, determines whether operation is authorized. If operation is unauthorized the first controller 150 transmits a command via the satellite 100 instructing the wireless telephone 130 to disable itself. The second controller 133, located in the wireless telephone 130, receives the command via a transceiver 132 and disables the wireless telephone 130. On the other hand, if operation is authorized the first controller 150, transmits a command via the satellites 100 instructing the wireless telephone 130 to enable itself.
- the second controller 133 receives the command via the transceiver 132 and enables the wireless telephone 130.
- Each of the plurality of base stations 200A-C communicates with the database 120. Although more than one base station of the plurality of base stations 200A-C may receive transmissions from a wireless telephone 130, typically only one satellite 200A ( Figure 1) communicates with the wireless telephone 130 at any given time. Also included in the base stations 200A-C are controllers 250A-C which are capable of instructing the controller 133, located within the wireless telephone 130, to disable and enable operation of the wireless telephone 130.
- the wireless telephone system can use two or more of the base stations 200A-C to triangulate the geographical location of the wireless telephone 130.
- Another approach uses knowledge of which base station 200A is communicating with the wireless telephone 130 and Timing Advance (TA) information used in wireless communication between the base station 200A and the wireless telephone 130 to ascertain a rough estimate of the geographical location.
- TA Timing Advance
- the controller 250A of the base station 200A serving the wireless telephone 130 determines whether operation is authorized. If operation is unauthorized the controller 250A, located in the base station 200A, transmits a command instructing the wireless telephone 130 to disable itself.
- the controller 133, located in the wireless telephone 130 receives the command via the transceiver 132 and disables the wireless telephone 130. On the other hand, if operation is authorized, the controller 250A transmits a command instructing the wireless telephone 130 to enable itself.
- the controller 133, located in the wireless telephone 130 receives the command via the transceiver 132 and disables the wireless telephone.
- the wireless telephone system periodically ascertains the geographical location of the wireless telephone (step 300) .
- Any known method of ascertaining the geographical location of the wireless telephone can be used including, but not limited to, mapping the position of the wireless telephone in a satellite reference coordinate system to an earth reference coordinate system, or by triangulation using multiple components of the wireless telephone system.
- the location is compared against database information pertaining to the authorization to operate in the ascertained location (step 305) and a determination is made as to whether operation is authorized (step 310) .
