Abstract:
Techniques are provided that provide for or otherwise support positioning and related services for mobile devices via wireless signals. In an example, a mobile device in a communication network may acquire a first downlink signal from a first node in the communication network and a second downlink signal from a second node in the communication network. The first node may also be configured to transmit a data service signal and/or a voice service signal via the first downlink signal. However, the second node, by design, is not configured to transmit either a voice service signal or a data service signal via the second downlink signal. An estimated location of the mobile device may subsequently be determined, for example, based, at least in part, on the first and second terrestrial positioning signals.
