Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor to obtain a measurement report message (MRM) from a plurality of measurement report messages (MRMs) comprising timing measurements for multiple cells in a wireless communication network, the MRM being sent by a user equipment (UE) for handover or when triggered, and to determine location of the UE, when the MRM is generated, based on the timing measurements in the MRM; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor determines relative time differences (RTDs) for the multiple cells, computes a weighted average for each of the RTDs, and determines the location of the UE based on weighted averages, wherein weights applied to the RTDs are based on a number of the multiple cells in each of the plurality of MRMs.
