APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR DETERMINING GEOGRAPHICAL POSITIONING OF A MOBILE STATION OPERABLE IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for determining the geographical positioning of a mobile station operable in a mobile radio communication system. Wideband signals are generated during pseudo-random time periods by a plurality of base transceiver stations. The ultra-wideband signals are of large bandwidths, e.g., 2 GHz, and of low signal energy levels. The mobile station detects the wideband signals sent thereto and, responsive thereto, determination of the geographical positioning of the mobile station is determined.
