Abstract
Methods and systems for mobile station location detection. A mobile station measures signal strength of each of a set of signals associated with the mobile station, then determines whether a number of signals in the set is less than a predetermined threshold. Based on the determination, the mobile station calculates a difference in power between a first and second signal associated with the mobile station. Thereafter, power on a channel corresponding to the mobile station is increased for a predetermined number of frames based on the calculation. The location of the mobile station is determined during the power increase.
