Abstract
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).
