First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, location information of a mobile device from a registered location of a femtocell device;
determining additional location information that comprises time difference of arrival information determined based on a signal that was determined to have been directed from the femtocell device to the mobile device; and
initiating, by the system, a transmission of a location of the mobile device that is determined by a function of the location information and the additional location information.

Abstract
When a call is placed within a femtocell area of coverage, the location of the femtocell is used as the location of the mobile device. The location of the femtocell is stored in the network, and if the call is placed through the femtocell, the location of the femtocell is used to determine the location of the mobile device.

13. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; determining location information of a mobile device based on a location of a femtocell device; determining additional information that is a result of a time difference of arrival calculation performed based on a signal communicated by the femtocell device to the mobile device; determining a location of the mobile device as a function of a combination of the location information and the additional information; and generating a registered waypoint as the location of the mobile device from the location information and the additional information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
