Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for obtaining an estimated location of a mobile device. According to an embodiment, a mobile device may obtain a plurality of timing advance parameters based, at least in part, on signals transmitted from the mobile device to a plurality of base stations on uplink channels to the plurality of base stations. An estimated location of the mobile device may be determined based, at least in part, on timing advance parameters.
Claims30
A method, at a computing device, comprising:
- obtaining timing advance parameters based, at least in part, on signals transmitted from a mobile device to three or more concurrently connected base stations on uplink channels to the three or more base stations;
- and
- computing a first estimated location of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the timing advance parameters and locations of the three or more base stations.
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
- obtain timing advance parameters based, at least in part, on signals transmitted from a mobile device to three or more concurrently connected base stations on uplink channels to the three or more base stations;
- and
- compute a first estimated location of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the timing advance parameters and locations of the three or more base stations.
A method, at a computing device, comprising:
- obtaining a first estimated location of a mobile device based, at least in part, on observations of one or more signals received at the mobile device at an instance;
- and
- determining an assessment of movement of the mobile device from the first estimated location subsequent to the instance based, at least in part, on timing advance parameters obtained at the mobile device based, at least in part, on signals transmitted from the mobile device to three or more concurrently connected base stations on uplink channels to the three or more base stations.
