Abstract
Aspects describe a Highly Detectable Pilot that allows a mobile device to detect more base stations and, thus, can provide more accuracy in location estimate. A highly detectable pilot can be transmitted in one or more data symbols that are not currently being utilized for transmission of data. Transmission of the highly detectable pilot in two data symbols provide a receiver with more convergence time, however, it can take the receiver a longer amount of time to acquire an adequate number of pilots for a location estimate.

A method that conveys a highly detectable pilot in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- identifying a position of at least one data symbol for transmission of the highly detectable pilot;
- and
- conveying the highly detectable pilot in the position of the at least one data symbol, wherein the highly detectable pilot is conveyed to one or more receivers for a determination of the position, and wherein a low reuse factor is utilized for transmission of the highly detectable pilot.
An apparatus that conveys a highly detectable pilot in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- identify a position of at least one data symbol for transmission of the highly detectable pilot;
- and
- convey the highly detectable pilot in the position of the at least one data symbol, wherein the highly detectable pilot is conveyed to one or more receivers for a determination of the position, and wherein a low reuse factor is utilized for transmission of the highly detectable pilot;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
An apparatus that conveys a highly detectable pilot in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- means for identifying a position of at least one data symbol for transmission of the highly detectable pilot;
- and
