Abstract:
1. A method for disseminating Early Warning Messages (EWMs) to one or more subscriber terminals by an Early Warning Unit (EWU) in a mobile communication network, the method comprising the steps of: identifying at least one base station in a first region for disseminating the EWMs; sending a trigger signal to the at least one base station for initiating the dissemination of the EWMs; sending a request by the at least one base station to one or more peer base stations in a second region, the request being an invitation to participate in the dissemination of the EWMs; receiving subscriber details of the one or more subscriber terminals by the EWU, wherein the subscriber details of the one or more subscriber terminals are sent by the at least one base station and the one or more peer base stations; and selectively disseminating the EWMs to the one or more subscriber terminals based on location details of the subscriber terminals using a grid computing architecture, wherein the grid computing architecture facilitates parallel dissemination of the EWMs to the one or more subscriber terminals by splitting the subscriber details into one or more data fragments.
