Abstract
A system and method for detecting a location of a mobile communication terminal. A mobile communication network for communication with the terminal and a cell identifier (ID) of a base station is set. A public land mobile network (PLMN) ID of the network and the cell ID are stored. One or more networks other than the set network are searched for. When the one or more other networks are searched for, the searched one or more other networks are sequentially set. Cell information according to the one or more other networks is searched for. Cell IDs of base stations communicable with the terminal are set. PLMN IDs of the one or more other networks and the cell IDs are stored. A common area between cells set using the stored PLMN and cell IDs is determined. Information about the common area is detected as location information of the terminal.
