Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system that account for one or more propagation-time components in a transmission path between a base station and a wireless terminal in a coverage area being served by the system. One such component is in the base station equipment between the radio that serves a wireless terminal and the antenna element that radiates and/or receives electromagnetic signals that involve the terminal. Another component of the transmission path is the one or more paths over which a radiated signal travels between the base station antenna element and the wireless terminal. By accounting for these propagation components through the use of measurement data provided by possibly a large number of wireless terminals, a disclosed location engine is able to derive adjusted measurements that are more representative of the propagation-time characteristic being measured by the individual terminals. These adjusted measurements can then be used to estimate the location of a wireless terminal more accurately.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a server computer: i) a first propagation-time measurement of a first signal in a transmission between a first wireless terminal and a first base station, ii) a second propagation-time measurement of a second signal in a transmission that involves the first base station, and iii) evidence of the location of the first wireless terminal; estimating, by the server computer, the location of the first wireless terminal…
