Abstract  Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for generating and use of a reference signal that allows a receiver to receive position location signals from relatively weak signal generators in the presence of a strong signal source.

SOLUTION: Position location reference signals from multiple sources can be synchronized to occur within a scheduled time slot of a time division multiplexed communication system. During the scheduled time slot each signal source can configure a transmission that includes a media access control address that corresponds to a value reserved for position location signals. Each signal source also configures the transmission to include a position location reference signal that corresponds to the signal source. The position location signals from each of the signal sources is positioned to occur at a time within the data portion of the scheduled time slot when no neighboring signal source transmits its corresponding position location signal.
