The invention relates to a method for improving
base station location success rate. By means of the method, location information of a
base station and a
list of neighbor base stations are loaded when a mobile locating
system loads
base station information, for any base
station with unknown location, the location information of the base
station is estimated through location information of neighbor base stations in the neighbor base
station list, the estimated location information is used in location calculation of the mobile locating
system, the neighbor base station
list for estimating the location information of the base station with unknown location is composed of part of or all of base stations with known location of the neighbor base stations of the base station with the unknown location, and the
estimation method can be a
centroid method, an outer center method and the like. In addition,
direction information and / or height information of the neighbor base stations can be loaded for further improving the
estimation accuracy, and requirements for high location accuracy can be met. By means of the method, the location of the base station can be estimated through the location information of the neighbor base stations under the condition that the location information of the base station is not timely loaded or updated, and accordingly the success rate of
mobile location can be effectively improved.
