ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for locating a mobile radio communications transceiver in a cellular-telephone or cellular-like communications system use a simplified system for passive monitoring of the signals emitted by the transceiver. Two receiving base stations can determine the timing of signal arrivals from the remote transceiver. This timing information is then combined with collateral, position-sensitive information to determine the likely location of the transceiver. The present invention has particular applicability to roadway transportation in that it facilitates enhanced emergency services and roadside assistance in response to calls for assistance, and it permits the passive monitoring of traffic flow.
