Abstract
A method for collecting radio signal timing values for use in determining the location of a mobile station in a wireless network. The method includes acquiring a radio signal timing value from the mobile station's serving base transceiver station. A first handover of the mobile station is initiated from the serving base transceiver station to a second base transceiver station. A radio signal timing value is determined as part of the handover procedure. After the first handover is completed, a second handover of the mobile station is initiated from the second base transceiver station to a third base transceiver station, wherein a third timing value is determined as part of the handover procedure. The second handover is also completed.
