The present system for identifying the location of selected mobile
stations includes two components: a first component that authenticates an
authorized party who logs into the Mobile Switching Center, and a second
component that is responsive to the entry of a system activation command
by the authorized party for locating selected mobile stations and
providing mobile station location information to the authorized party.
The present system for identifying the location of selected mobile
stations enables a service provider to track a mobile station through the
use of Autonomous Registrations or the polling of a selected mobile
station or a set of mobile stations. Once communication with the selected
mobile station is established, the GPS coordinates of the selected mobile
station are retrieved and provided to an authorized party to enable them
to locate the subscriber and their mobile station.
