Abstract
An apparatus and method for tracking a large number of wireless terminals being used by wireless subscribers and for estimating the location of the terminals at each instant. Some embodiments of the present invention use a combination of cluster analysis, interpolation of information between identified clusters, and averaging of the interpolated information, in order to predict when it might be beneficial to issue a location request to a location engine, for each subscriber.
