Abstract:
1. A communication network comprising: a wireless network with a base station configured to send data to and receive data from a mobile station via radio frequency communication signals; and a location platform operably coupled to the wireless network, the location platform configured to: a) receive a velocity request for the mobile station from the wireless network; and b) in response to the received velocity request, facilitate a computation of a velocity of the mobile station; the communication network further comprising at least one network component operably coupled between the wireless network and the location platform, the at least one network component being configured to: i) receive an attempted communication involving the mobile station; ii) in response to receiving the attempted communication, communicate a velocity request for the mobile station to the location platform; iii) receive a response to the velocity request from the location platform; iv) compare the computed velocity of the mobile station with a velocity threshold; v) in response to a determination that the computed velocity exceeds the velocity threshold, implement a restrictive action for the attempted communication by storing the attempted communication and repeat at least steps ii) to iv); and vi) in response to a determination that the computed velocity does not exceed the velocity threshold, deliver the attempted communication to the mobile station.
