Various embodiments of systems and techniques for providing location-based services (LBS) to a mobile computing device having a dual processor architecture are described. In one or more embodiments, the mobile computing device may comprise or implement hardware and/or software configured to enable LBS and data communications sessions using a single active data stack at any particular point in time. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Apparatus and methods for providing location-based services to a mobile computing device having a dual processor architecture

A wireless characteristic of a wireless signal may be used to trigger generation of a position fix. A mobile computing device may include a wireless transceiver, a location determination circuit and a processing circuit. The wireless transceiver may be configured to receive a wireless signal over a short range wireless network from a wireless system. The processing circuit may be configured to detect a change in the wireless signal and, in response to the detected change, to generate a position fix using the location determination circuit.

Using wireless characteristic to trigger generation of position fix

A mobile computing device comprises a memory, a processor and a transceiver. The memory is configured to store at least one type of position assist data. The processor is configured to provide a position fix based on the position assist data. The transceiver is configured for wireless communication. The memory is configured to store updated position assist data for the type of position assist data. The processor is operable in a first operating mode in which the type of position assist data is not updated and operable in a second operating mode in which the type of position assist data is updated in response to at least one triggering event.

Updating position assist data on a mobile computing device

Various embodiments are directed to a portable voice and data radio base station to couple to a mobile computing device. When coupled, the portable voice and data radio base station and the mobile computing device may cooperatively form a wireless access point to enable communications among a network and other local wireless communication devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
