Method and apparatus for facilitating the location approximation in CDMA1X network

摘要

An apparatus and method is disclosed for determining a location of an access terminal within a wireless communication network. In some examples, the access terminal retrieves system information from its current serving cell and stores the retrieved system information in memory with an associated time stamp. Over time, as the access terminal moves around the network, it can accumulate this system information for multiple base stations in its memory. Additional location information can be provided to the access terminal by utilizing system information and associated time stamps for multiple base stations, rather than just the current serving base station. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. [Selection] Figure 1
