Abstract
Different types of position solutions may be used to determine the position of a mobile station (104) in a wireless communication system (101). The position solutions include terrestrial, or network (102, 103), based techniques and non-network, such as satellite (160), based techniques. An apparatus and method whereby different position solutions are selected based on a figure of merit of the different solutions in determining a position of a mobile remote unit (104).
