Abstract

The described technology is generally directed towards user equipment (UE) geolocation using a long history of network information. In some examples, a long history of network information associated with a UE can be processed to identify frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values. The frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values are indicative of frequently visited places. Next, the long history can be leveraged to determine locations of the frequently visited places with enhanced accuracy, and the resulting enhanced accuracy locations can be identified in a location lookup table for the UE. When the UE subsequently connects to the frequently repeated serving cell and the correlated timing advance value is observed, the location lookup table can be used to quickly assign an enhanced accuracy location to the UE.
