Abstract
A method and system for knowing positioning system standard time at a mobile unit with respect to a system, such as the Global Positioning System, when normal, direct measurement may be impracticable owing to low signal-to noise ratio, by calibrating the timing signal of an available communication network, such as a cellular telephone transmission network ( 610, 615 ). A time reference is set for the communication network with respect to the positioning system at a time when an adequate signal-to-noise ratio prevails and the offset of a timing event in the communication network control signal measured by means of the mobile unit's internal clock may be determined ( 620, 625 ). Subsequent times are measured with respect to this time reference by using the internal clock to measure time intervals therefrom.
