Patent ID: 8193977

Claim:
A method of data distribution, comprising: receiving, by a GPS receiver, a GPS signal from one or more GPS satellites; encrypting and compressing GPS data associated with at least a portion of the GPS signal; broadcasting, via a power line, the GPS data to a plurality of small scale base transceiver stations that are part of a mobile cellular communication network, wherein the broadcasted data includes an identifier that identifies the GPS receiver; receiving, by the small scale base transceiver stations, the GPS data; extracting, by the small scale base transceiver stations, timing information from the GPS data; using the timing information extracted from the GPS data to synchronize wireless communications with mobile wireless communication devices; and communicating wireless mobile communications data from the small scale base transceiver stations, via the Internet, to an aggregated gateway that is connected, a dedicated line, to a base station controller, wherein each small scale base transceiver station is individually coupled to the Internet to connect to the aggregated gateway where the wireless mobile communications data from the small scale base transceiver stations is aggregated, for the first time on its way from the small scale base transceiver stations to the base station controller, by the aggregated gateway, wherein a registration server is coupled to the aggregated gateway and is coupled to the Internet, wherein the registration server is configured to authenticate each of the small scale base transceiver stations prior to providing session keys to the authenticated small scale base transceiver station for use in secure communications and prior to providing, to the authenticated small scale base transceiver station, address information for the aggregated gateway.
