Claim 0:
1. A mobile wireless cell phone device, operating as a part of a wireless communication network, comprising:
a. the mobile wireless cell phone device has a GPS function that is configured to determine a GPS location data of the mobile wireless cell phone device;
b. a registration request signal transmission management (RRSTM) logic operating in the mobile wireless cell phone device is configured to create a registration-request (R-R) record and embed the GPS location data of the mobile wireless cell phone device in the R-R record in addition to an international mobility equipment identifier (IMEI) data of the mobile wireless cell phone device in the R-R record;
c. the RRSTM logic in the mobile wireless cell phone device is further configured to receive locations of the mobile wireless cell phone device at every elapsed time interval of a timer, periodically compute a distance between a current location of the mobile wireless cell phone device and an immediately prior location of the mobile wireless cell phone device, transmit from the mobile wireless cell phone device the R-R record with the GPS location data to the wireless communication network when the distance is greater than a threshold, and suppress transmission of the R-R record with the GPS location data to the wireless communication network when the distance is less than the threshold; and
d. the mobile wireless cell phone device receives from the wireless communication network a transmission signal strength that is computed by a mobile switching center (MSC) in the wireless communication network, based on a distance, determined by the MSC, of a GPS location of the mobile wireless cell phone device to cell towers in a cell area in which the mobile wireless cell phone device is located.
