Abstract
An enterprise communication system comprises a wireless transceiver and a server. The wireless transceiver is located within the enterprise and receives a hand-off for a wireless communication device from a public network base station in response to the wireless communication device entering an enterprise cell. The enterprise cell is located in a public network cell of the public network base station. The wireless transceiver communicates over an air interface with the wireless communication device. The server determines the positioning of the wireless communication device within the enterprise and selects information for the enterprise based on the positioning. The server transfers the information for the enterprise to the wireless communication device through the wireless transceiver.
Claims38
A communication system comprising:
- a wireless transceiver located within an enterprise and within an enterprise wireless cell, with the wireless transceiver being configured to receive a hand-off of a wireless communication device from a public network base station in response to the wireless communication device entering an enterprise wireless cell corresponding to the wireless transceiver and located at least partially in a public network cell of the public network base station, and with the wireless transceiver being further configured to communicate over an air interface with the wireless communication device;
- and
- a server in communication with the wireless transceiver and configured to receive the hand-off of the wireless communication device from the public network base station, determine positioning of the wireless communication device within the enterprise, access a data structure populated with data related to at least a wireless communication device position, select enterprise information from the data structure based on the positioning of the wireless communication device within the enterprise, and transfer the enterprise information to the wireless communication device through the wireless transceiver.
A method of operating a communication system comprising:
- in a wireless transceiver, receiving a hand-off of a wireless communication device from a public network base station in response to the wireless communication device entering an enterprise wireless cell in an enterprise and corresponding to the wireless transceiver, with the enterprise wireless cell being located at least partially in a public network cell of the public network base station;
- in a server in communication with the wireless transceiver, determining positioning of the wireless communication device within the enterprise;
- in the server, accessing a data structure populated with data related to at least a wireless communication device position;
- in the server, selecting enterprise information from the data structure based on the positioning of the wireless communication device within the enterprise;
- and
- in the server, transferring the enterprise information to the wireless communication device through the wireless transceiver.
