EMBEDDED WIRELESS LOCATION VALIDATION BENCHMARKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A telecommunications system for benchmarking location determination capabilities for a mobile communications device in a communications network, the system comprising:
- the mobile communications device configured to;
receive a first set of data identifying location of the device, the location identified with a first technique;
generate a second set of data formatted to trigger the communications network to identify the location of the device using a second technique; and
transmit one or more communications signals comprising the first set of data and the second set of data;
the communications network communicatively coupled with the mobile communications device, and configured to;
receive the second set of data through at least a subset of the one or more communications signals;
calculate location of the device using the second technique; and
generate a third set of data representative of the location identified using the second technique; and
a location processing server communicatively coupled with the communications network, and configured to;
store at least a subset of the first set of data and at least a subset of the third set of data in a data store associated with the location processing server.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are described for benchmarking the location determination capabilities of a wireless communications network. A mobile communications device is configured to receive data identifying a reference location for the device. A communications network, communicatively coupled with the mobile communications device, calculates a computed location for the device using an alternative location determination technique. The reference location and computed location may be determined for any number of additional devices, as well. The accuracy and reliability of a system may then be assessed by comparing one or more computed locations with associated reference locations. The latency attributable to the calculation of one or more computed locations may also be determined.
