METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CONFIRM MOBILE EQUIPMENT HAS REMAINED RELATIVELY STATIONARY USING ONE OR MORE PILOT SIGNAL

摘要

A tracking unit operably coupled to mobile equipment is provided. The tracking unit is capable of using a pilot channel for CDMA networks, a broadcast channel for GSM networks or the like, to determine that the tracking unit has remained relatively stationary. The tracking unit determines it has remained relatively stationary by determining that it is receiving the same radio frequency signals at approximately the same strength as it previously received.
