Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for obtaining a locus of an estimated location of a mobile device. According to an embodiment, a mobile device may obtain a plurality of timing advance parameters based, at least in part, on frames transmitted from the mobile device to a plurality of base stations on uplink channels to the plurality of base stations. A timing advance parameter may be selected from among the plurality of timing advance parameters to a particular base station of the plurality of base stations, wherein the particular base station is not a base station of a primary cell. The locus of the estimated location of the mobile device may then be determined based, at least in part, on a location of the particular base station and the selected timing advance parameter.
