Claim:
1. A method for determining a location of a mobile device, the method comprising: receiving, by transceiver circuitry of the mobile device, expected timing information of reference signals from positioning reference cells of a first base station and at least a second base station; upon determining, by processing circuitry of the mobile device, a size of a search window corresponding to the expected timing information is within a signal capture range of the mobile device: upon determining, by the processing circuitry, the size of the search window is not within the signal capture range of the mobile device: computing, by the processing circuitry, a time difference between the reference signals; and determining, by the processing circuitry, a location of the mobile device based on the computed time difference between the reference signals.
