Abstract
A method for generating a new home zone list upon detecting the address information of a mobile user comprising the steps of receiving the address information of the mobile station; detecting target Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) located within a predetermined distance around the mobile station. The coverage area, in which the address location is within, is divided into a plurality of sub-coverage areas. The detected BTSs are associated with each of the divided groups. The BTSs are prioritized within each of the divided groups into the first, second and third tier BTS. The new sector list is then generated for the mobile station based on the sector angle data of the first tier BTS.
Claims13
A method for generating a new sector list to define a home zone for a subscriber within a wireless communication network, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving an address location information defining a personal home area from said subscriber;
- (b) detecting a plurality of target Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) located within a predefined distance around said address location, each of said plurality BTSs having different sector angles;
- (c) dividing a coverage area around said address location into a plurality of sub-coverage areas;
- (d) associating said detected BTSs to each of said divided sub-coverage areas;
- (e) classifying said associated BTSs within each of said plurality areas into different tier BTSs;
- and
- (i) determining a home ankle (HAB) between said address location and said BTS;
- (ii) calculating, an angle (ASH) between each sector angle of said BTS and said address location by subtracting said respective sector angle of said BTS from said home angle (HAB);
- and
- (iii) classifying one of said plurality BTSs located within a first predetermined distance around said address location as said first tier BTS if said calculated angle (ASH) between said BTS sector angle and said address location has a lowest angle value;
- and,
- (f) generating said new sector list defining said home zone according to the sector angles of said first tier BTS.
