Method and system for improving the location of fixed wireless CBSD nodes
First Claim
1. A method of providing an enhanced location based service (eLBS), comprising:
- determining, via a processor in a fixed wireless device, an approximate location of the fixed wireless device;
receiving, via the processor, location information from a wireless device;
determining a more precise location of the fixed wireless device based on the approximate location and the location information received from the wireless device;
determining whether new location information is available;
computing a variance estimate value that considers an accuracy of the more precise location in response to determining that new location information is available; and
extrapolating the more precise location and increasing a variance value that considers the age of the more precise location in response to determining new location information is not available.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for determining a more precise location of a fixed wireless device and providing an enhanced location based service (eLBS). A fixed wireless device may be configured to determine its approximate location (e.g., a current location waypoint, etc.), communicate with other fixed or mobile wireless devices to receive location information, and determine a more precise location of the fixed wireless device based on the approximate location and the received location information. The fixed wireless device may use the computed location information to provide a location based service and/or send the more precise location to another wireless device for use in providing a location based service.
