Systems and methods for providing improved location such as emergency services location of mobile devices in an over the air communications system are disclosed. On receiving a request, a user equipment (UE) mobile device makes observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) measurements on signals received from certain cell communication elements. The UE selects or prioritizes the cells based on one of several schemes, including comparing internally stored cell ID information to cell ID information provided by the network, and using lists of cells that are recently used, recently received, previously used, or on a closed subscriber group (CSG) list are alternative embodiments. The UE may prioritize home eNB cells that it is a member of for the measurements. By prioritizing the cells used for the measurements, the OTDOA measurements may be limited to a few cells and the time needed to make the measurements may be reduced.
