DISTRIBUTED LOCATER, ALERT, REPEATER, AND/OR CALL TECHNOLOGIES FOR COMMUNICATION DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising a processor, from a network device of a service provider network, a signal that indicates a communication is being directed to a wireless device associated with a macro communication coverage area that is served by a base station device and the network device; and
in response to the signal, distributing, by the system, an alert to a remote device to facilitate communicating a corresponding alert to another communication coverage area located outside of the macro communication coverage area to facilitate providing a notification regarding the communication being directed to the wireless device.

Abstract
Distributed locater, alert, repeater, and call technologies for communication devices can be employed. A base component can be configured to receive a message at a base unit, the message corresponding to at least one of a call directed to a wireless communication device or another message directed to at least one of the wireless communication device or a wired communication device. The base component can distribute an alert to at least one remote unit based on the message. A remote component can be configured to receive the alert at the at least one remote unit, and broadcast the alert or another alert from the at least one remote unit. An interface component can be configured to receive an input at the at least one remote unit based on the alert. Further, the remote component can be configured to transmit a response based on the input.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving, from a network device, a signal that indicates a communication is being directed to a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is not operating in a macro communication coverage area associated with a base station device, and wherein the macro communication coverage area is served by the base station device and the network device; and in response to the signal, distributing a notification signal to a remote device to facilitate broadcast of a corresponding notification signal to facilitate notification that the communication is being directed to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
receiving an alert distributed by a base device based on a communication directed to a wireless device located in a macro communication coverage area, wherein the base device receives, via a network device of a service provider network, a signal that indicates the communication is being directed to the wireless device, and wherein the macro communication coverage area is served by the base station device and the network device; and in response to receiving the alert, transmitting the alert to a second communication coverage area located outside of the macro communication coverage area to facilitate providing a notification of the communication being directed to the wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
