Patent ID: 6990345

Claim:
A method for wireless position location of a mobile station with use of signals transmitted between said mobile station and a plurality of base stations, comprising: step 1 of observing said transmitted signals to take out periodically at a plurality of time points as snapshots and calculating a correlation between a signal transmitted between said mobile station and each of a plurality of specific base stations included in said plurality of base stations and each of said transmitted signals with respect to each of said plurality of snapshots, thereby generating a delay profile corresponding to each of said plurality of snapshots for each of said plurality of base stations; step 2 of combining said plurality of delay profiles with a respective weight to generate a combined delay profile for each of said plurality of specific base stations; step 3 of detecting a path timing corresponding to each of said plurality of specific base stations according to said combined delay profile; and step 4 of locating said position of said mobile station according to said path timing detected with respect to each of said plurality of specific base stations.
