Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for detecting one or more access points in a wireless network are disclosed. The location coordinates of a wireless communication device (WCD) are first determined. Based on comparisons made with the WCD location coordinates, if the WCD is within range of a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point and remains stationary for a preset time interval, a wireless local area network (WLAN) radio interface may be activated within the WCD to connect to the WLAN via the access point.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a processor configured to compare the periodic wireless communication device (WCD) location coordinates updates to a database of wireless local area (WLAN) access point location coordinates to determine a list of access points within a vicinity of the WCD, and to send the list of access points to the WCD in response to determining that the WCD has remained within the vicinity for a preset monitoring time interval, the list of access poi…
