Abstract

The invention relates to a method for locating a mobile station in a digital time division mobile communication system. The serving base station (BTS1) determines the timing of the transmission of a mobile station by means of a timing advance so that the transmission of the mobile station is received at the serving base station (BTS1) in a correct time slot. Correspondingly, timing advances suitable for timing the transmission of the mobile station (MS) are measured at neighbouring base stations (BTS2, BTS3), and the timing advances are converted into base station distances. An inaccuracy term is added to the base station distances, and the location of the mobile station is determined to be the intersection (A) of the base station distances rectified with the inaccuracy term.
