Abstract
Different types of position fixes may be used to determine the location of a mobile station in a wireless communication system. The position fixes include terrestrial, or network, based techniques, and non-network based techniques, such as satellite, based techniques. An apparatus and method are presented by which different position fixes may be selected, based on the performance of a particular position fix in a particular mobile remote unit.
