  • Patent number: 11860289
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards user equipment geolocation. Network measurement data associated with user equipment can be separated into static periods in which the user equipment was not moving, and moving periods in which the user equipment was moving. Static location processing can be applied to determine static locations from the static period network measurements, and moving location processing can be applied to determine moving locations from the moving period network measurements. Resulting static location information and moving location information can then be merged in order to improve the accuracy of both the static and the moving location information. The enhanced accuracy location information can be stored and used for any desired application.
