1. A method for managing an inconsistency between a radio communications network and a network database in a zone-based location system, the method comprising:
- receiving a notification of an inconsistency;
identifying at least one zone profile affected by the inconsistency;
updating the at least one zone profile to compensate for the inconsistency;
identifying at least one mobile radio terminal associated with the at least one zone profile; and
transmitting the at least one zone profile to the at least one mobile radio terminal associated with the at least one zone profile.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for managing inconsistencies between a radio communications network and a network database. In one aspect, the system is informed of one or more inconsistencies and various decisions are made as to what actions to take. One possible action is to simply inform a network operator of the discrepancy. Another possible action is to determine which network elements are affected by the inconsistency and to update the network database in relation to those network elements to compensate for the inconsistency.

5. A zone-based location system configured for managing an inconsistency between a radio communications network and a network database, the system comprising:
-
a server; and a memory in communication with the server having instructions stored therein configured to cause the server to execute the steps of; receiving a notification of an inconsistency; identifying at least one zone profile affected by the inconsistency; updating the at least one zone profile to compensate for the inconsistency; identifying at least one mobile radio terminal associated with the at least one zone profile; and transmitting the at least one zone profile to the at least one mobile radio terminal associated with the at least one zone profile. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of managing an inconsistency between a radio communications network and a network database, the method comprising:
-
receiving a notification of the inconsistency; determining whether any mobile radio terminals in the radio communications network are affected by the inconsistency; and transmitting a communication to one or more of the mobile radio terminals that were determined to be affected by the inconsistency to compensate for the inconsistency; wherein the step of determining whether any mobile radio terminals are affected by the inconsistency comprises determining whether one or more zones defined in the radio communications network are affected by the inconsistency and determining whether any mobile radio terminals are associated with one or more of the one or more zones. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

21. A method for managing a change in a radio communications network, the method comprising:
-
identifying one or more zones defined by a respective profile in the radio communications network that are affected by the change, the respective profile containing data relating to one or more cells; for each cell in the respective profile, determining whether the cell is significantly affected by the change; and if the cell is determined to be significantly affected by the change, flagging the respective profile for updating to compensate for the change. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A system for managing a change in a radio communications network, the system comprising:
-
means for identifying one or more zones defined by a respective profile in the radio communications network that are affected by the change, the respective profile containing data relating to one or more cells; means for, for each cell in the respective profile, determining whether the cell is significantly affected by the change; and means for, if the cell is determined to be significantly affected by the change, flagging the respective profile for updating to compensate for the change. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
