Abstract

A mobile station position estimation scheme for a cellular mobile communication system which is capable of estimating a position of a mobile station in a simple manner even in the general cellular mobile communication systems in which base stations are not synchronized. According to this mobile station position estimation scheme, a first signal sequence and a second signal sequence which are uniquely predetermined for the mobile station are exchanged between the mobile station and the base station, and then a position of the mobile station is estimated at one station among the base station and the mobile station, by obtaining a phase difference between the first signal sequence and the second signal sequence and calculating an estimated distance between the base station and the mobile station according to the phase difference.
