Abstract
An Applications Processor () including a centralized database system is used in a wireless location system (WLS). The APsmay be used to manage resources in the WLS, including signal collection systems (SCSs) and TDOA location processors (TLPs). Each APcontains a database containing triggers for the WLS. The WLS can be programmed to locate only certain pre-determined types of transmissions. When a transmission of a pre-determined type occurs, then the WLS is triggered to begin location processing. Each APalso contains applications interfaces that permit a variety of applications to securely access the WLS. These applications may access location records in real time or non-real time, create or delete certain types of triggers, or cause the WLS to take other actions. Each APis also capable of certain post-processing functions.
