Abstract: Base stations of a wireless telephone user location or position system are arranged in cell clusters and are mutually synchronized to provide very stable signal timing. A center cell or central base station (BSN) in a cluster of N cells acts as a cluster control center for purposes of user location or position finding and is provided with the capability to process information and derive user position. The other cells in a given cluster transmit received 911 data to the cluster control center. The handsets communicate with the respective cells in the normal fashion. However, when the handset dials "911", the enhanced 911 (ENH911) operation is initiated and the handset automatically changes its mode of operation: once per master frame there is included a 100 ms burst of a sequence of transmissions of unmodulated overlay PN sequence and Radamacher Walsh (RW) OCDMA code emanating from the handset only. However, other signalling formats may be used.
