Abstract
A method and system for identifying the location of a mobile device in a wireless communication network includes identifying Hierarchical Cell Structure (HCS) priority number of a cell in which the mobile device is currently camped. A first positioning method is selected to identify the location of the mobile device when the HCS priority number is greater than a first predefined number, and a second positioning method is selected when the HCS priority number is smaller than a second predefined number. The method also performs a probabilistic method to select a positioning method from the first posting method and the second positioning method when the HCS priority number is between the first predefined number and the second predefined number.
