A system and method to reduce-the effects of TOA errors. A mobile unit, generates a correlation pulse when a signal transmitted from a base station is detected. The transmitted signal may be reflected or defracted such that multipath signals arrive at the mobile unit, leading to distortion in the generated correlation pulse and errors in accurate TOA measurements. The system models the response function and calculates the width of the pulse using the modeling function with a dynamically adjustable factor to indicate at what point down from the peak the pulse width will be calculated. Based on calculation of pulse width, a type of multipath signal may be determined and an appropriate correction factor applied to the measured TOA to provide a more accurate TOA determination. The system may apply correction factors to TOA signals from base stations in a mobile telephone unit or from signals received from GPS satellites.
