A wireless communication system and method for determining a location of a mobile station communicating within the system. The system comprises a plurality of base receivers for receiving wireless communication, a controller, and at least one mobile station for transmitting a signal for receipt by at least two of the base receivers. The base receivers that received the transmitted signal determine a timing error associated with the transmitted signal, and the controller determines a separation distance between the mobile station and each base receiver that received the transmitted signal based at least upon the timing error. The controller further determines the location of the mobile station within the wireless communication network based upon the separation distance between the mobile station and the base receivers that received the transmitted signal.
