Abstract
Techniques for multiple pass geolocation are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for multiple pass geolocation. The system may comprise one or more processors communicatively coupled to a mobile communications network. The one or more processors may be configured to conduct a first geolocation pass to identify one or more geolocation estimates under consideration. The one or more processors may also be configured to conduct at least one additional geolocation pass to refine one or more geolocation estimates under consideration. The one or more processors may further be configured to determine an approximate location of one or more mobile devices within an estimated coverage area of a network based on at least the first geolocation pass and the at least one additional geolocation pass.
