First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for verifying a position of a mobile station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an activation by the mobile station;
comparing a first mobile station position of the mobile station and a second mobile station position of the mobile station to generate a result;
determining whether the result exceeds a predetermined error tolerance; and
indicating an error associated with the position of the mobile station if the result exceeds the predetermined error tolerance.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method and wireless communication system (100) for verifying a position of a mobile station (102). Upon detection of an activation by the mobile station (102), the system (100) compares a first mobile station position and a second mobile station position to generate a result. The system (100) then determines whether the result exceeds a predetermined error tolerance. The system (100) indicates an error associated with the position of the mobile station (102) if the result exceeds the predetermined error tolerance.
