Recently, wireless mobile communication systems have experienced a tremendous growth and became an integral part of people’s daily life worldwide. This global predominance of wireless communications has been ever more pronounced with the success of new generations of wireless communication standards that support a rich set of value-added features in addition to basic phone services. Among these features is the possibility to offer radiolocation services whereby the mobile system (MS) position is determined by combining relevant information (such as signal time of arrival or angle of arrival) from different base stations (BSs) having radio links with the intended mobile. This positioning capability can support many services ranging from medical emergency help, security and law enforcement, on-the-road assistance, location-dependent commercial advertisement, etc. As such, mobile radiolocation has been mandated by several of the recently introduced wireless standards, and is being widely deployed by cellular network operators worldwide (Rappaport et al., 1996).
