ABSTRACT:
A method and system for processing communications based on altitude is provided. When a network receives a request to connect a communication to or from a mobile station, the network will determine the mobile station's current altitude. The network can make this determination by acquiring a GPS reading of the mobile station's current location, which can include an indication of altitude as well as latitude and longitude. Based at least in part on the altitude, the network can then decide whether to allow the requested communication to proceed. For instance, if the altitude is greater than a predetermined threshold level, then the network may preclude the communication. A network can also take into consideration other factors in addition to the altitude of a mobile station, such as the latitude and longitude coordinates of the mobile station, in deciding whether to allow a requested communication to proceed.
