Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a better system and method determining a wireless mobile unit 2 by using only a base station. SOLUTION: A position of the wireless mobile unit 2 is determined by a measurement value of the single base station. A distance between the wireless mobile unit 2 and base station is computed by using a round trip delay value of a RF up-link signal received from the wireless mobile unit 2. Then, an arrival angle of the received signal is determined as a measurement value received from each of a plurality of antenna sectors in a multi-sector antenna. The arrival angle is determined based on the antenna signal measurement value memorized of the multi-sector antenna, and a combination of discrete sector signal measurement values corresponds to a single angle measurement value. By using the determined distance and arrival angle, the position of the wireless mobile unit 2 is easily determined by using only the measurement value of the single base station.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the satellite searching time in a GPS system. SOLUTION: The integral time of a correlator is adjusted according to a signal strength measurement value of a satellite signal received by a GPS receiver. The integral value is adjusted proportionally; non-proportionally, or reversely to the received strength of a signal to be searched. In the implementation example, if received signal strength is more than a threshold value, an integral time is short (for example, 1 msec.). Contrarily, if received signal strength is lower than this threshold value, an integral time is long (for example, 1 sec.). For instance, the integral time is 1 sec. when a WAG client is in the interior and a satellite signal is weak, while the integral time is 1 msec. when the WGA client is in the outdoor and the satellite signal is strong. In this way, the integral time is dynamically regulated reversely according to the received signal strength of the satellite signal, so that the satellite signal can be easily detected without deteriorating detection system.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem related to positioning of the terminal of a wireless mobile communication device and the like for distance measuring such as satellite distance measuring and/or wireless network distance measuring. SOLUTION: At least three distance measurement values are applied with weighted ridge regression(WRR) process to determine the position of the terminal. For example, in an integrated satellite navigation system/wireless network, at least three distance measurement values are applied with the WRR process to determine the position of a mobile communication device. Here, at least one distance measurement value is that of satellite system (for example, GPS pseudo distance measurement value) while at least one is that of wireless network system (for example, round propagation delay or pilot phase offset measurement value). The WRR process raises precision in determining position of a mobile communication device with a conventional minimum average square technology.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device which expand the network performance of a radio network by utilizing generally obtainable geographic position information. SOLUTION: This method is for expanding the network performance of the radio network and consists of a step in which the current position of a mobile device in the radio network is decided and a step in which the network performance of the radio network is expanded by utilizing the current position of the mobile device. For more detailed information, signal quality in an area where calls are discarded is improved by deciding the area where the calls are discarded due to the use of the geographical position information. An intelligent antenna is further formed by utilizing the geographic position information for beam steering so that capacity increase and interference reduction can be accomplished. They can also be accomplished by utilizing the geographic position information in a down tilt technique.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method for calculating the position of a mobile station by combining plural predicted positions. SOLUTION: Predicted positions of a mobile station are averaged by using weighted sum. The weighted coefficients reflect information to generate a predicted position or quality of data. This position is predicted on the basis of information such as time difference of arrival(TDOA), a time of arrival(TOA), and an angle of arrival(AOA). A round trip delay(RTD) givens the TOA information and a strength measurement message(PSMM) of a pilot signal includes the TDOA information and an ID of a case station to send the AOA information and a signal to the mobile station.

Abstract: Weighted ridge regression (WRR) processing is applied to three or more distance measurements to determine the location of a terminal. For example, in an integrated satellite-based navigation system / wireless network, the location of a mobi le unit can be determined by applying WRR processing to at least three distance measurement s, where one or more of the distance measurements are satellite-based distance measurements (e.g., GPS pseudorange measurements) and one or more are wireless network- based distance measurements (e.g., round-trip delay or pilot phase offset measurements). WRR processing provides improved accuracy in the determination of mobile un it position over conventional least mean square techniques.

Abstract: Network performance of a wireless network is enhanced by using geolocation information. The network enhancement may be achieved by determining call-dropping zones by the use geolocation information and by improving the signal quality in these call-dropping zones. The network enhancement may also be achieved in the form of increased capacity and reduced interference by utilizing geolocation information in beam steering and shaping of intelligent antennas. Rather than having antennas passively steering and shaping their beams in terms of the rays coming directly from mobiles or reflected by objects, geolocation information may be used to steer the beams (i.e., when antennas are adaptive) or select particular beams (i.e., when antennas are fixed-beam). In addition, the network enhancement may be achieved by using geolocation information in downtilt technology. The network enhancement may be further achieved by using geolocation information to reduce mobile registration requirements. The network enhancement may be also achieved by better managing the power level of a mobile. Additionally, the network enhancement may be achieved by enhancing load-balancing capabilities in a wireless system by the use of geolocation information.

Abstract: Information obtained from one or multiple base stations is used to calculate a mobile terminal's location in a cellular system based on combining multiple estimated locations. The estimated locations are averaged using a weighted sum, where the weights reflect the quality of information or data that produced the estimated location. The estimated locations are based on information such as time difference of arrival (TDOA), time of arrival (TOA), and angle of arrival (AOA). The round-trip delay (RTD) provides TOA information, and the pilot strength measurement messages (PSMM) contain the TDOA information, AOA information and the ID of base stations that provide signals to the mobile terminal.
