Media are provided for performing a method of auditing data associated with a wireless telecommunications network. The method includes determining whether or not to audit data associated with a given sector in a wireless coverage area in a wireless telecommunications network based off of either a sector exclusion/inclusion list or a field in a database. The method also includes comparing attributes of sectors to be audited across network elements to determine if any data inconsistencies exit. Finally, the method presents any data inconsistencies of audited sectors to a user. In an alternate embodiment, all sectors could be audited, and certain sectors could be denoted on an audit report as to indicate that this sector already has known inconsistencies or is out of service to prevent confusion and further errors.

Auditing data in a wireless telecommunications network

A computer system comprises a communication interface and a processing system. The user interface is configured to receive a plurality of communications requesting location information for a plurality of mobile devices engaged in communication sessions with a communication network. The processing system is configured to generate a plurality of records associated with the plurality of communications wherein the plurality of records comprises user information expressed in an initial format, process the plurality of records with a plurality of keys to encode the user information to generate encoded user information, and process the encoded user information to verify that the encoded user information satisfies the initial format. Upon determining that the encoded user information satisfies the initial format, the communication interface is configured to transfer the encoded user information for analysis.

Method and system for encoding telecommunications user information

A method of operating a communication system to process emergency service calls is disclosed. A call request for an emergency service call from a mobile communication device is received. The call request includes a device identifier for the mobile communication device. A location capability database is queried using the device identifier to determine if the device identifier is in the location capability database. A default location capability is assigned if the device identifier is not in the location capability database. A location of the mobile communication device is determined using the default location capability if the device identifier is not in the location capability database.

Determining mobile device location capabilities

A communication network comprises a device configured to place a call for an emergency service, a call processing system in communication with the device and configured to receive and process the call to route the call to a public service answering point (PSAP), initiate a location determination process, and terminate the call, and a location provisioning system configured to execute the location determination process to determine the location of the device, wherein the location provisioning system comprises a plurality of sub systems, and wherein the call processing system communicates with only a first sub system of the plurality of sub systems to initiate the location determination process and communicates with the first sub system and a second sub system of the plurality of sub systems to terminate the call.

Emergency call service termination

An emergency call system comprises a control system and a location system. The control system associates emergency call processing parameters with individual ones of a plurality of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). The location system receives a call request for an emergency call placed by a mobile communication device. The emergency call is to be handled by one of the PSAPs. In response to the call request, the location system determines the emergency call processing parameters that are associated the one of the PSAPs handling the emergency call. The location system uses these associated emergency call processing parameters to process the emergency call.
