Abstract
A method and system for communicating location information in a cellular wireless system. Each sector in a coverage area is characterized by a polygon of influence with respect to the other sectors. The polygon of influence is then used as a basis to characterize the scope or position of the sector and, particularly, the location of a mobile station that is operating in the sector. A location-based-service provider can then use that polygon of influence based location information to facilitate providing a location-based service.
