Hi there all!
I m new to this group as well as to the field of communication.
(1) My Big Question is "Can we calculate the the GPS type of MS
location?"
(2) I think this could be done when the MS asynchronously (near to
synchronously, sending the information such as GPS location quantities
to the BTS, during idle mode?

Kinldly help me in understating these things?

  Phase II Wireless E911 Technology Choices
 
  As of May 2003, here are the methods being used by the largest wireless
  carriers to provide Phase II service:
 
  Carrier Network
  Technology Phase II Technology Type
  T-Mobile GSM E-OTD* network
  Nextel iDEN A-GPS handset
  Cingular TDMA-GSM E-OTD* network
  AT&T Wireless TDMA-GSM E-OTD* network
  Verizon CDMA A-GPS/AFLT handset
  Sprint CDMA A-GPS/AFLT handset
 
  Both Cingular and AT&T Wireless are phasing out their TDMA networks.
 
  * In Oct. 2002 Cingular and AT&T Wireless notified the FCC that it was
  halting E-OTD development because they were uncertaint that
  the technique could meet the accuracy requirement by the Commission's
  deadline. In March 2003 T-Mobile also told the FCC
  it would stop deployment of E-OTD gear. The carriers said they would test
  U-TDOA technology to provide Phase II service.

  Cingular Switches to U-TDOA for E-911 Positioning    
 
  Date Posted: Dec 17, 2002, 12:25 AM Source: Wireless Week

  Cingular has decided to switch technologies for meeting the FCC's
  E-911 mandate for locating 911 callers. Cingular has told the FCC
  that after completing successful field trials involving
  TruePosition's network-based U-TDOA technology, it was moving away
  from E-OTD, which so far has failed accuracy tests, resulting in
  delays and financial penalties. Cingular in October suspended
  shipments of E-OTD gear and began testing TruePosition's solution.
