In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and system for
calibrating a wireless network including a Mobile Switching Center (MSC),
and a Position Determination Device (PDD). The wireless network is
capable of determining the position of a handset. The method includes
receiving a trigger from the MSC; sending a position request message to
the PDD in response to the received trigger; receiving a position request
response message from the PDD; continuously sending subsequent position
request messages to the PDD in response to the same received trigger,
until a termination command is received; terminating the sending
subsequent position request messages, when the termination command is
received; and generating output data including network calibration
parameters.
