LOCATION ASSISTANCE INFORMATION DETERMINATION

摘要

Methods and apparatus are described for providing location assistance information to a mobile device. An example of a method for providing location assistance information to the mobile device by a femto base station includes receiving a macro base station signal during a monitoring time period during which the femto base station is substantially stationary, obtaining location assistance information, the location assistance information being based, at least in part, on the received macro base station signal, and transmitting the location assistance information to the mobile device.

主权项

1. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions for providing location assistance information to a mobile device by a femto base station, wherein the processor-readable instructions comprise:
code for receiving a macro base station signal during a monitoring time period during which the femto base station is substantially stationary; code for obtaining the location assistance information, the location assistance information being based, at least in part, on the macro base station signal and comprising at least one of a multipath effect determination or a time-of-transmission offset or a combination thereof wherein timing information associated with the femto base station is used in at least one of the multipath effect determination or the time-of-transmission offset or the combination thereof; and code for transmitting the location assistance information to the mobile device.
