1. A method for measuring a time difference of arrival measurement in a mobile network, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more processors, a serving transmission from a serving base station; and

    making, by the one or more processors, a status determination of an autonomous muting status of a neighbor base station based on the serving transmission; and

    applying, by the one or more processors, a muting threshold test to a neighbor base station reading when the autonomous muting status is active; and

    upon passing the muting threshold test, combining, by the one or more processors, the neighbor base station into a position measurement.
