Abstract
A cellular network monitors the location of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The cellular network is also aware of the location of each data pump capable of communicating with the cellular network. The data pump capable of transmitting data at a high data rate. The cellular network coordinating a high data rate transfer between the WTRU and the data pump.
Claims25
A system for providing high speed wireless data exchange, comprising:
- a cellular network comprising a plurality of base stations for communicating with a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU);
- a device locator for determining the location of the WTRU;
- and
- at least one data pump, which supports high speed connection for wirelessly transferring information between said WTRU and said cellular network;
- and
- whereby said connection is automatically established when said WTRU is within a certain range of said data pump.
In a digital wireless communications network, a method of providing increased data transfer rates at specific locations, the method comprising:
- detecting a location of a WTRU and generating data concerning the location;
- comparing the data concerning the detected location to a database, the database including location information for localized base stations providing high data transfer rates;
- and
- effecting high transfer rate communication between the WTRU and one of the localized base stations when the comparing of the data indicates a coincidence between a location of the WTRU and the location of said one of the localized base stations.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) capable of increased data transfer rates at specific locations, the WTRU comprising:
- a data processing circuit for receiving information from a wireless network concerning the availability of a localized base station providing high data transfer rates;
- a memory associated with the data processing circuit for storing data transferred between the WTRU and the localized base station;
- the data processing circuit for accepting communications with the localized base station;
- and
- a data processing circuit for effecting communication between the WTRU and one of the localized base stations when the comparing of the data indicates a coincidence between a location of the WTRU and the location of said one of the localized base stations.
A digital wireless communications network, capable of providing increased data transfer rates at specific locations, the network comprising:
- means for detecting a location of a WTRU and generating data concerning the location;
- means for comparing the data concerning the detected location to a database, the database including location information for localized base stations providing high data transfer rates;
- and
- means for effecting high transfer rate communication between the WTRU and one of the localized base stations when the comparing of the data indicates a coincidence between a location of the WTRU and the location of said one of the localized base stations.
