A method and apparatus to utilize a set of measurements (either partial or
compete) to improve the accuracy of an initial position estimate for a
wireless terminal. The initial position estimate for the terminal is
first obtained (e.g., based on a cell-ID or an enhanced cell-ID
solution). Measurements are obtained for the terminal. The initial
position estimate is then updated with the measurements to obtain a
revised position estimate for the terminal. The updating may be performed
by (1) deriving a measurement vector based on the initial position
estimate and the measurements, (2) forming an observation matrix for the
measurements, (3) determining a matrix of weights, (4) deriving a
correction vector based on the measurement vector, the observation
matrix, and the weight matrix, and (5) updating the initial position
estimate with the correction vector.
