Enhanced 911 location for dense cell network meshes

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining, via a communication network, information relating to first coverage areas of first network cells, associated with a neighboring cell list of a user equipment, wherein the first coverage areas are defined by respective positions of the first network cells and respective coverage radii of the first network cells, wherein the communication network comprises the first network cells, wherein the first network cells comprise a mobile network cell, and wherein the obtaining the information relating to the first coverage areas comprises receiving, from the mobile network cell, a first position of the mobile network cell;
• determining a first area in which the first coverage areas of the first network cells overlap;
• selecting, as an estimated position of the user equipment, a position within the first area;
• and
• receiving, from the mobile network cell, a second position of the mobile network cell in response to the mobile network cell being determined to have moved at least a threshold distance from the first position, wherein the determining the first area comprises determining the first area based on the second position of the mobile network cell, instead of the first position of the mobile network cell.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• determining first coverage areas, of network cells listed in a neighboring cell list of a user equipment, wherein the first coverage areas are defined by reported positions of the network cells and coverage radii of the network cells, and wherein the network cells comprise a mobile network cell;
• determining an area of overlap between the first coverage areas of the network cells;
• defining, as an approximate position of the user equipment, a selected location within the area of overlap;
• receiving, from the mobile network cell, a first reported position of the mobile network cell;
• and
• receiving, from the mobile network cell, a second reported position of the mobile network cell in response to the mobile network cell moving a threshold distance away from the first reported position, wherein the determining the area of overlap comprises determining the area of overlap using the second reported position of the mobile network cell, instead of the first reported position.
