Claim Text:
1. A method of improving a location estimate of transceivers, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of transceivers co-located at a sectored cell site each having respective location estimates as a co-located group; determining a location of a virtual transceiver for the co-located group by using an average of the respective location estimates of each of the plurality of identified transceivers; assigning the determined location of the virtual transceiver to each of the transceivers of the co-located group at the sectored cell site; and grouping the plurality of transceivers into possible co-located groups based on a carrier identifier associated with the transceivers wherein the co-located groups are identified by a co-location labelling format that identifies one or more labelling formats used when assigning the unique identifier to the respective transceiver associated with the carrier identifier.
