1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving an indication that timed fingerprint location information associated with a first device has been received at a second device, wherein the timed fingerprint location information comprises a first differential time value for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential time value for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device, wherein the first and second differential time values are correlated to geographic location information determined before the timed fingerprint location information is received, and wherein the first and second differential time values are stored as part of the timed fingerprint location information to enable determining a first location corresponding to the first and second differential time values;
receiving, via an information interface, a sharing value related to another indication of a permission related to shared access to the timed fingerprint location information between devices; and
enabling access by the second device to the first and second differential time values of the timed fingerprint location information associated with the first device based on the sharing value, to enable determination of a second location of the second device based on information received from a timed fingerprint location information data store and the timed fingerprint location information associated with the first device.

Abstract
Sharing timed fingerprint location information is disclosed. In an aspect, timed fingerprint location information can be associated with a location of a user equipment. This timed fingerprint location information can be shared with other devices. As such, with proper analysis, these other devices can employ the shared timed fingerprint location information to determine their location. In an aspect, the other devices can determine that they are located at the same location as the user equipment. However, a level of error can be inherent in the location determined from shared timed fingerprint location information. In some embodiments, this error can be compensated for.

10. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first user equipment comprising a processor, timed fingerprint location information for a second user equipment, wherein the timed fingerprint location information comprises a first differential time value for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential time value for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device, wherein the first and second differential time values are correlated to geographic location information determined before the timed fingerprint location information is received by the first user equipment, and wherein the first and second differential time values are stored as part of the timed fingerprint location information to facilitate determining a first location corresponding to the first and second differential time values; receiving, via an information interface of the first user equipment, a permission value related to allowing shared access to the timed fingerprint location information between the first user equipment and the second user equipment; and allowing the first user equipment to access a portion of the timed fingerprint location information, based on the permission value, to enable determining a second location for the first user equipment based on the timed fingerprint location information for the second user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving timed fingerprint location information related to another mobile device, the timed fingerprint location information comprising a first differential time value for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential time value for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device, wherein the first and second differential time values are correlated to geographic location information determined before the timed fingerprint location information is received, and wherein the first and second differential time values are stored as part of the timed fingerprint location information to facilitate determining a first location corresponding to the first and second differential time values; receiving, via an graphical user interface of the mobile device, a permission indicator related to a permission for sharing access to the timed fingerprint location information of the other mobile device; and sharing the timed fingerprint location information with the mobile device based on the permission indicator, enabling determination of a second location for the mobile device based on the timed fingerprint location information related to the other mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
