1. An Aided Location Communication System (“
- ALCS”
), comprising;
a geolocation server; and
an Aided Location Communication Device (“
ALCD”
) includinga communication section in signal communication with the geolocation server, anda position-determination section having a GPS-receiver, wherein the position-determination section is capable of selectively switching betweena first position-determination mode for determining a geolocation of the ALCD, anda second-position determination mode for determining the geolocation of the ALCD,wherein one of the first and the second position determination modes is a reverse aiding mode, andwherein in the reverse aiding mode the ALCD transmits the geolocation of the ALCD to the geolocation server, and the communication section of the ALCD is responsive to signals received from the geolocation server that have been modified based on the location of the ALCD.

Abstract
An Aided Location Communication System (“ALCS”) is described that may include a geolocation server and a wireless communication device having a GPS section where the GPS receiver section is capable of being selectively switched between a standalone mode and at least one other mode for determining a geolocation of the wireless communications device. An Aided Location Communication Device (“ALCD”) is also described. The ALCD includes a position-determination section having a GPS receiver and a communication section where the position-determination section is selectively switchable between a GPS-standalone mode and at least one other mode for determining a geolocation of the ALCD.
