E-OTD - The Enhanced Observed Time Difference

A positioning method which measures the time at which signals from the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) arrive at two geographically dispersed locations – the mobile phone/station (MS) itself and a fixed measuring point known as the Location Measurement Unit (LMU), whose location is known. The position of the MS is determined by comparing the time differences between the two sets of timing measurements.
