A method, system, and apparatus for initiating a communication between a fixed wireless device and a network entity. A wireless local loop hub or other fixed wireless device upon being reconnected to fixed-position power, will determine if fixed-position power was disconnected for a time-duration exceeding a time-threshold, and if so, responsively initiating a communication with a network entity in order to communicate information regarding the wireless local loop hub or other fixed wireless device.

Method and system for initiating a communication with a network entity to communicate information regarding a fixed wireless device

A method and system for simultaneous ringing in a wireless communication system. Upon receipt of a request to connect a call to a given wireless communication device (WCD), a switch or other entity will determine that the given WCD subscribes to a simultaneous ringing service and will identify one or more other WCDs to simultaneously ring. The switch or other entity will then determine which of those one or more WCDs, if any, are currently operating in the same wireless coverage area as the given WCD and will then simultaneously ring the given WCD and each of the other WCDs, if any, that is determined to be operating in the same wireless coverage area.
