Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure allow user equipments (UEs) to independently determine and communicate their location within a designated coverage area. Each UE can be equipped with RF transmitters and a GPS module, allowing it to obtain signals from RF beacons deployed throughout the coverage area to determine its location. The UEs can transmit location data to a communications platform server (CPS) when a change in location is detected. User profiles associated with each UE can define geographical boundaries, including compliance zones and non-compliance zones. The CPS can identify non-compliance events based on the location data by determining if the UE is outside a compliance zone or within a non-compliance zone, and issue notifications accordingly.
