Automated proximate location association mechanism for wireless emergency services

A method comprising:

• receiving a location request for a mobile device from a requesting device;
• retrieving an historical address profile of the mobile device, the historical address profile including civic address information and communication signal information, wherein the communication signal information characterizes a communication signal received by the mobile device while at a corresponding civic address included in the historical address profile;
• receiving a current proximate location from the mobile device that characterizes an identifier (ID) of a current serving cell of the mobile device, wherein the address profile of the mobile device includes at least two previous civic addresses for the mobile device corresponding to the ID of the current serving cell and a time associated with each of the at least two civic addresses;
• determining automatic location information (ALI) data based on a best match of the current proximate location to each of the at least two previous civic addresses and the associated time in the historical address profile, wherein the ALI data includes a fixed civic location and a confidence value characterizing a probability that the wireless device is located at the fixed civic location;
• and
• providing a reliability of the determined ALI data to the requesting device, wherein the reliability includes data characterizing the confidence value.

A server comprising:

• a non-transitory memory to store machine readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that access the memory and execute the machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions causing the server to:
• receive a location request for a mobile device from a requesting device in response to an emergency call from the mobile device;
• retrieve an historical address profile of the mobile device, the historical address profile including civic address information and associated communication signal information, wherein the associated communication signal information characterizes a communication signal being received by the mobile device while at a corresponding civic address included in the historical address profile;
• receive information that characterizes an identifier (ID) of a current serving cell of the mobile device, wherein the address profile of the mobile device includes at least two previous civic addresses for the mobile device corresponding to the ID for the current serving cell and a time associated with each of the at least two civic addresses;
• determine automatic location information (ALI) data based on a best match of the current serving cell to each one of the at least two previous civic addresses and the associated time in the historical address profile, wherein the ALI data includes a fixed civic location and a confidence value characterizing a probability that the mobile device is located at the fixed civic location;
• and
• provide a reliability of the determined ALI data to the requesting device, wherein the reliability includes data characterizing the confidence value.

A method comprising:

• receiving a current serving cell for a mobile device and location information characterizing latitude and longitude coordinates of the mobile device;
• determining a plurality of candidate locations for the mobile device that are within a polygon corresponding to a cell site sector of the serving cell;
• determining automatic location information (ALI) data based on a best match of the plurality of candidate locations based on the location information, wherein the ALI data includes a fixed civic location and a confidence value characterizing a probability that the mobile device is located at the fixed civic location;
• and
• providing a reliability of the determined ALI data to a requesting device, wherein the reliability includes data characterizing the confidence value.
