Abstract
Techniques are provided to set the timezone of a wireless user device in a wireless cellular communication network when the wireless user device is being served by a radio access point device rather than a macro base transceiver station. At a provisioning server configured to provision radio access point devices to operate in a wireless cellular communication network, a determination is made as to which timezone sub-region a radio access point device configured to operate in the wireless cellular communication network is located and selects a set of location area codes among the plurality of sets of location area codes assigned to the sub-region in which the radio access point device is determined to be located based on which of a plurality of radio access point gateway devices serves that radio access point device. The provisioning server sends the selected set of location area codes to the radio access point device. The location area codes are used by a wireless user device to request its timezone from a mobile switching center when the wireless user device is served by a radio access point device.
