Abstract
Embodiments of a WiMAX base station and a method for determining current location information of a mobile station in a WiMAX network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a first timing adjustment is determined from receipt of the ranging frame from the mobile station within the granted uplink time-slot, and a second timing adjustment is received from the non-serving base station. The second timing adjustment may be determined by the non-serving base station based on receipt of a ranging frame from the mobile station.

19. A method of determining uplink time difference of arrival (U-TDOA) by a serving base station, comprising:
-
sending ranging frame parameters from the serving base station to a non-serving base station, the ranging frame parameters comprising a frame number and a number of symbols; sending a ranging-response (RNG-RSP) message to a mobile station to initiate ranging; allocating an uplink time slot for a ranging frame to be transmitted by the mobile station; measuring a first timing adjustment; receiving a second timing adjustment from the non-serving base station; and calculating the U-TDOA based at least upon a difference between the first timing adjustment and the second timing adjustment. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A serving base station configured to perform uplink time difference of arrival (U-TDOA), comprising:
-
processing circuitry to determine to measure a first timing adjustment by receipt of a first upload (UL) burst from a mobile station in a first granted slot of a first orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame; and network interface circuitry to receive a second timing adjustment from a non-serving base station, the second timing adjustment being measured by the non-serving base station from receipt of a second UL burst from the mobile station in a second granted slot of a second OFDMA frame. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

-
processing circuitry to measure a first timing adjustment by receipt of an upload (UL) burst from the mobile station in a granted slot of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame; and network interface circuitry to receive a second timing adjustment from a non-serving base station, the second timing adjustment being measured by the non-serving base station from receipt of the UL burst from the mobile station in the granted slot of the OFDMA frame. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
