A method of using a non-GPS-derived technique to estimate the location of
an Assisted-GPS-enabled wireless terminal for the purposes of generating
location-specific assistance data for the wireless terminal is disclosed.
The wireless terminal then uses the assistance data to acquire and
process one or more GPS signals and to derive information that is
probative of the wireless terminal's location. The GPS-derived location
information is then combined with non-GPS-derived location to form an
estimate of the location of the wireless terminal that is better than can
be derived from either alone. This combination of GPS-derived and non-GPS
techniques is particularly useful when the wireless terminal can only
acquire one or two GPS signals because it is not possible to determine
the location of the wireless terminal with only two GPS signals alone.
