TRANSMITTING WIRELESS ALERT MESSAGES AT SUB-CELL GRANULARITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, signals indicating an alert condition for a location that is defined by a set of location attributes, wherein the alert condition is detected by a monitoring device deployed at the location;
identifying, at the server and based on the set of location attributes, at least one base station that serves at least one cell that overlaps with the location, and wherein the location encompasses less than all of the at least one cell; and
transmitting, from the server to the at least one base station, a message identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes.

Abstract
A server receives signals indicating an alert condition for a location that is defined by a set of location attributes and identifies one or more base stations that serve one or more cells that overlap with the location, which encompasses less than all of the cells. The server transmits a message to the one or more base stations identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes. A user equipment receives the message identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes that define the location of the alert condition. The user equipment compares a location of the user equipment to the set of location attributes and generates an alert in response to the location of the user equipment being within the location of the alert condition.

6. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a user equipment, a message identifying an alert condition and including a set of location attributes that define a boundary of a region associated with the alert condition, wherein the message is received in response to a monitoring device deployed proximate the region detecting the alert condition; comparing, at the user equipment, a location of the user equipment to the set of location attributes in the message; and generating, at the user equipment, an alert in response to the location of the user equipment being within the boundary of the region associated with the alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A server comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive signals indicating an alert condition for a location that is defined by a set of location attributes, wherein the alert condition is detected by a monitoring device deployed at the location; and a processor configured to identify at least one base station that serves the location based on the set of location attributes, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit a message to the at least one base station identifying the alert condition and including the set of location attributes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
