Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems to help provide a location of a mobile station in cases in which the location of the serving base station may not be known or may not be available from a base station almanac. According to the disclosed methods and systems, if the serving base station is not listed in the almanac, a positioning system will direct the mobile station to obtain identification information from a second base station (e.g., the “second best” available base station) by acquiring or partially acquiring a connection to the second base station. The positioning system may then query the almanac for location information of the second base station, based on the identification information obtained from that base station.
