`
`ABSTRACT
`A system and method of admission control for authorizing a submission of a
`
`broadcast message to a broadcast target area includes receiving a broadcast message record
`
`including the broadcast message and the broadcast target area for the broadcast message and
`
`validating the authority of a broadcast message originator originating the broadcast message
`
`record as a function of a broadcast message originator parameter. The method also includes
`
`identifying a broadcast transmission network providing broadcast message transmission to
`
`broadcast message receiving devices. located within the broadcast target area and validating
`
`the broadcast transmission network against a broadcast transmission network parameter. The
`
`method further includes forwarding the broadcast message record to an output interface
`
`associated with the broadcast transmission network for transmission to the broadcast message
`
`receiving devices within the broadcast target area.

`MESSAGE BROADCASTING ADMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
`[0001] This application cl~ms the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.
`
`601739,819, filed on November 23; 2005, ai:id of U.S. Patent Application 11/057 ,704,
`
`filed on February 14, 2005, that claimed priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.
`
`60/544,739, filed on February 13, 2004. The disclosures of the above applications are
`
`incorporated herein by reference.
`
`FIELD
`
`[0002] The present disclosure relates to message broadcast systems and in
`particular to the admission control for broadcasting messaging.
`
`BACKGROUND
`(0003] The statements in this section merely provide background information
`
`related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
`[0004] With the events of September 11 , 2001, there has been increased concern
`
`with the abi lity of present systems for providing public service broadcasting of messages
`
`and warnings to the public. Existing public service warning systems are antiquated and
`
`provide only limited access to the public who may be in need of knowing of potential
`
`emergencies or danger. Additionally, existing systems do not provide for location-based
`
`notification or broadcasting messages.
`[0005] As such, there is a need for an improved method and system for providing
`
`timely information to the public related to potential hazards affecting them. One suggested
`
`solution is the utilization of the subscription-based Short Message Service (SMS) messaging
`
`capability for mass messaging using mobile telephones and compatible devices. However,
`
`SMS systems and technology have significant technical limitations and experience with such
`
`systems has been disappointing due to significant delays in the delivery of SMS messages
`
`and negative impacts to the networks due to congestion. Additionally, SMS messaging
`
`places a considerable call processing load on the telecommunication system and
`
`infrastructure considering that the above process is multiplied by the demand of thousands or
`
`tens of thousands of SMS call set up requests at the same time. The potential initiation of
`
`broadcast SMS volumes will not only affect network resources for SMS messaging, but also

`
`SUM:MARY
`
`[0008]
`
`The inventors hereof has succeeded at designing an improved
`
`admission control system and method for message broadcasting.
`
`[0009]
`
`In one aspect, a message broadcasting system providing a broadcast
`
`message to a broadcast target area includes a broadcast request interface, a broadcast
`
`admission control module, and a broadcast message distributor module. The broadcast
`
`request interface is configured for receiving a broadcast message record having a
`
`broadcast message, a defined broadcast target area, and a broadcast message originator
`
`identifier. The broadcast admission control module is configured for receiving the
`
`broadcast message record and validating the broadcast message record as a function one
`
`or more of the broadcast message originator identifier, the broadcast target area, and a
`
`broadcast message transmission-network parameter associated with a broadcast
`
`transmission network adapted for broadcasting the message to at least a portion of the
`
`broadcast target area. The broadcast admission control module is also configured for
`
`generating a validated broadcast message record as a function of the validating. The
`
`broadcast message distributor module is configured for receiving the validated broadcast
`
`message record and transmitting the broadcast message and the broadcast target area, or a
`
`part thereof, to an output interface configured for distributing the broadcast message to at
`
`least a portion of the broadcast target area.
`
`[0010]
`
`In another aspect, a method of broadcast messaging to a broadcast
`
`target area including hosting a broadcast message interface and receiving a broadcast
`
`message record having a broadcast message, a defined broadcast target area, and a
`
`broadcast message originator identifier. The method also includes validating the
`
`broadcast message record as a function one or more of the broadcast message originator
`
`identifier, the broadcast target area, and a broadcast message transmission network
`
`parameter associated with a broadcast transmission network configured for broadcasting
`
`the message to at least a portion of the broadcast target area. The method further includes
`
`generating a validated broadcast message record as a function of the validating and
`transmitting the validated broadcast message record to an output interface configured for
`
`distributing the broadcast message to at least a portion of the broadcast target area.
`· In yet ano.ther aspect, a method of admission control for authorizing a
`
`[0011]
`
`submission of a broadcast message to a broadcast target area includes receiving a
`
`broadcast message record including the broadcast message and the broadcast target are
