1. A cell identification with ranging wireless location method for determining a subscriber handset location estimate, wherein the method is for use in association with a wireless communications network (WCN) including a mechanism to determine an initial, low accuracy location estimate based on a range estimate and a cell sector identifier, and wherein the location method employs a predetermined distribution of high accuracy subscriber handset location estimates together with an initial, low accuracy location estimate, comprising: defining a grid overlaying the coverage area of the WCN, wherein the grid includes a plurality of grid boxes each of which corresponds to a respective geographic area; associating with each box of the grid a number representing a count of high accuracy subscriber handset locations corresponding to the geographic area associated with that cell; determining an expected location for each of a plurality of range bands in the WCN; receiving an initial location estimate for a subscriber handset, wherein said initial location estimate includes a range value and a cell sector identifier; and in response to receiving the initial location estimate for said subscriber handset, providing an improved accuracy location estimate based on the expected location and the range value of the initial location estimate.
