Abstract

A wireless telecommunications network uses a wireless location technology to determine the locations of mobile stations. As part of a location accuracy analysis process, the wireless location technology is used to obtain a measured latitude and longitude for a mobile station located at a test site having a known latitude and longitude. A data analysis system calculates the radial location error, expressed as a distance, between the measured and known latitude and longitude values. The process is repeated a number of times sufficient to calculate the mean radial location error to within a predetermined uncertainty at a predetermined confidence level.
