Abstract
A method and an apparatus for estimating a location of a terminal are provided. The method includes: receiving at least one base station signal from each of at least one base station; computing received signal information with respect to the received signal; and estimating the location of the terminal based on signal transmission direction information associated with the base station and the computed received signal information. The present invention can accurately estimate the location of the terminal based on directional information of base station signals.
