CELL DETECTION FOR MOBILE LOCATION WITH GROUPING DIVERSITY

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting pilot signals over resources selected based on a dynamic variable common to a wireless network. The resources can also be selected based on an identifier of a related access point to provide multiple levels of diversity in transmitting the pilot signal. Thus, a resource selected for a given access point can vary over subsequent frames and additionally vary with respect to other access points. A hash function can be utilized with the access point identifier to divide resources among access points, and using the dynamic variable, such as a frame identifier, can modify the selected resources over subsequent frames. This allows mobile devices to receive the pilot signals from access points at varying locations, for location determination in one example, with decreased interference.
