Abstract

The present invention provides a method for providing cell location service in digital mobile communication network, without additional device for cell location service. The cell location center requests that a mobile station provide current location of the mobile station. Then, the mobile station transfers the base station identification currently communicating with the mobile station. The cell location center finds the location of the mobile station using the base station identification which is uniquely defined in the mobile communication network.
