Abstract:
1. A mobile station comprising: a signal-measuring module operable to measure a received signal strength of at least one signal from at least one base station to obtain a measured received signal strength; a determining module operable to determine, based on the measured received signal strength, whether a propagation path to the at least one base station is non-line-of-sight or line-of-sight; a distance-estimating module operable to estimate a distance to the at least one base station based on a propagation model of the at least one base station, if the propagation path is non-line-of-sight; and a reception level-estimating module operable to estimate an ideal signal level of a signal sent to the at least one base station based on a transmission power of the at least one base station, wherein the determining module is further operable to:
