    摘要: A user equipment (UE) communicating with a radio access network (RAN) sends to a network entity (e.g., an MSC/SGSN) a request for periodic reporting of the UE location to a client entity. After the request is approved, the MSC/SGSN sends to the RAN signaling to initiate periodic location reporting for the UE. The RAN may request a positioning center (e.g., a SAS) to send assistance data to the UE. The RAN may coordinate and control the periodic location reporting or may pass the control over to the positioning center. For each location reporting, the UE sends location information (e.g., measurements made by the UE or a location estimate computed by the UE) to the RAN. The SAS computes a location estimate if the UE sends measurements. The RAN then sends the location estimate for the UE to the MSC/SGSN, which forwards the location estimate toward the client entity.

    摘要: Mobile station positioning methods are calibrated using an error bias estimation for refining the determination of the mobile station location which does not require any added hardware to the telecommunications system. The position of the mobile station is calculated assuming no bias errors and a first order approximation of the mobile station position is derived as a function of the bias error. The bias error is then estimated and used to refine the previously calculated mobile station position.

    摘要: The propagation time for propagation of a radio signal from a radio transmitting station to a radio receiving station is estimated based on calculated correlation values, calculated energy values and a known energy value. The receiving station receives a series of received signals that respectively correspond to radio signaling bursts transmitted by the radio transmitting station. Each of the radio signaling bursts includes a known signaling sequence. The calculated correlation values are indicative of correlations between the received signals and the known sequence, the calculated energy values are calculated for the respective received signals, and the known energy value is the energy of the known sequence.

    摘要: In a mobile telecommunications network, a mobile station (MS) is configured to generate and uplink transmit position measuring data prior to and/or during a call connection, without noticeably interrupting the user or degrading the quality of service provided. Position measuring data can be uplink transmitted over an idle traffic channel during a call set up operation for a brief moment while the call connection is being completed. Position measuring data can also be uplink transmitted during a call by selectively stealing data positions or burst positions in the uplink signal. The position measuring data is received by a plurality of base stations and uplink signal characteristics are measured and collected. The measured uplink signal characteristic data from several base stations is then used to determine a current approximate geographical location of the mobile station.

    摘要: In locating the position of a radio transmitter in a radio communication network, signal timing measurements of a radio signal transmitted by the radio transmitter are obtained using respective satellite-based clocks. Clock discrepancy information about timing discrepancies between the satellite-based clocks is also obtained. The signal timing measurements are compared to obtain signal timing difference information, and the clock discrepancy information is used to eliminate effects of the timing discrepancies from the signal timing difference information.

    摘要: Positions of non-reference wireless transceivers to be added to a wireless communication network are determined as follows. Each non-reference wireless transceiver performs measurements of times of arrival (TOA) of signals transmitted by other non-reference wireless transceivers, as well as reference wireless transceivers. Thereafter, time difference of arrival (TDOA) values are computed from at least two types of pairs of measurements as follows: (a) unknown-unknown TDOA values are obtained as differences between TOA measurements of signals transmitted by non-reference wireless transceivers and (b) unknown-known TDOA values are obtained as differences between a TOA measurement of a signal transmitted by a non-reference wireless transceiver and another TOA measurement of another signal transmitted by a reference wireless transceiver. Both types of TDOA values are used to solve simultaneous equations to identify the positions of the non-reference wireless transceivers and optionally times of transmission of the signals by the non-reference wireless transceivers.
