A system and method of determining the location of a mobile device. Network measurement report information may be received from a target mobile device, the NMR having measurement information and range information of the target mobile device from a cell serving the device. The serving cell may be divided a plurality of subsectors and candidate locations placed on an intersection of a range formed from the range information and bisectors of the plurality of subsectors. A subset of neighboring and serving cells may be selected as a function of the NMR measurement information and a radio frequency (RF) coverage centroid determined for each of the selected neighboring cells. A centroid of the determined RF centroids may be determined, and a location of the target mobile device estimated as the candidate location having a minimum distance to the determined centroid.
