Patent ID: 8644855

Claim:
A method of determining a location of a mobile device configured to a femtocell network, the method comprising: transferring a request query to a switching device coupled to a cluster of femtocell devices, wherein transferring includes: receiving an origination request (ORREQ) trigger from an open process control (OPC) of a convergent server (CS); and returning an origination request return result (orreq_rr) to the CS and a mobile positioning center (MPC); determining a position of the mobile device coupled to a femtocell device within the cluster of femtocell devices by initiation of the request query to the switching device, the femtocell device being registered with the switching device, wherein determining includes: sending a geo position request (GPOSREQ) to a position determination equipment (PDE); creating an inter-system position request (ISPOSREQ); sending the ISPOSREQ from the PDE to the CS to identify a location of the mobile device; and sending the location of the mobile device to the MPC via a geo position request return result (gposreq_rr); identifying a macro network configured to the femtocell device; and determining a topology of a surrounding geographic region from information in a database.
