A radio wave transmitted from a mobile station 10 is received in each base
station 12, and, based on the received power measured by a received power
measuring portion 38 of the base station, a distance ratio calculating
portion 54 of a position locating server 14 calculates the difference in
the received power between the paired base stations. Based on the
difference in the received power, the distance ratio is calculated
between the distance from one base station to the mobile station and the
distance from the other base station to the mobile station. A locus
creating portion 56 of the position locating server 14 creates a locus
which is a sequence of points showing positions where the calculated
distance ratio is realized. The position calculating portion 58
calculates an intersection of the loci for a plurality of base station
pairs, thereby calculating a candidate for the mobile station.
