Interference is a common problem in wireless communication networks. This disclosure provides a method and system that detect and locate interference sources based on various data describing or captured from an operational network during normal mobile wireless service times.

Method and system for detecting interference to wireless networks

A method for identifying a target user equipment (UE) in a cellular telecommunications network includes receiving a plurality of time and position coordinate pairs including first and second coordinate pairs, establishing a plurality of geofences, each geofence of the plurality of geofences corresponding to one time and position coordinate pair of the plurality of time and position pairs, for each geofence, determining at least one cell that provides service to the geofenced area, determining a set of UE identities for the at least one cell at the time of the associated coordinate pair, and correlating the sets of UE identifiers for each of the plurality of coordinate pairs to determining at least one UE identifier that occurs at a highest frequency for each of the coordinate pairs. Identities may be received in response to a request to change a Location Area Code (LAC) or a Tracking Area Code (TAC).

Method and system for user equipment identification in a network

A method that identifies user equipment (UE) in both idle mode and connected mode in a cellular network is performed when an indication of an emergency situation is received. The method can identify all UEs within a geofenced area. The geofenced area can be an arbitrary shape that is automatically or manually created. The emergency system receives unique identities of UEs in the geofenced area that are provided when the location area identifier value is changed.

A method that identifies user equipment (UE) in both idle mode and connected mode in a cellular network is performed when an indication of an emergency situation is received. A geofenced area is established around a location of the emergency situation, one or more cells are identified in the geofenced area, and an emergency system transmits a request to change a location area identifier value to one or more network providing service to the one or more cells. The emergency system receives unique identities of UEs in the geofenced area that are provided when the location area identifier value is changed.
