Systems and methods are disclosed that determine whether incoming calls
are in a home local calling area (LCA) in a wireless network. One
embodiment comprises an LCA determination system that includes a
processing system and a mapping data structure. The mapping data
structure includes a plurality of entries that map a switch/cell
identifier (e.g., an MSC/cellsiteID) to a set of LCA identifiers. For a
call in a wireless network, the processing system receives a switch/cell
identifier, masks the sector identifier from the switch/cell identifier,
and searches the mapping data structure based on the masked switch/cell
identifier to identify an associated set of LCA identifiers. The
processing system then compares the set of LCA identifiers to a
subscriber profile to determine if an LCA identifier matches. If there is
a match, then the processing system determines that the call is in a home
LCA.
