Determining a time calibration value for a user equipment

A given entity configured to calculate a time calibration value for a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for obtaining a known location of at least one terrestrial transmit station of a first Synchronized Terrestrial Positioning System (STPS);
• means for determining transmit station calibration information associated with the at least one terrestrial transmit station, the transmit station calibration information comprising at least one Forward Link Calibration (FLC) value that is specific to the at least one terrestrial transmit station;
• means for determining a location of the UE that is in wireless communication range with the at least one terrestrial transmit station;
• and
• means for calculating the time calibration value for the UE based at least on the at least one FLC value and a difference between the obtained known location of the at least one terrestrial transmit station and the determined location of the UE,
• wherein the time calibration value is a time offset in time of arrival at the UE due to radio frequency (RF) processing in a receiver of the UE.

A given entity configured to calculate a time calibration value for a user equipment (UE), comprising:
