Summary	WiMax is an emerging technology for metropolitan-area, high data rate access. It is considered the leading contender for 4G mobile phone adoption. This was recently backed by a $3.2B investment by a consortium of Intel, Google, Sprint and others. The objective of this continuing research is to develop precision geolocation techniques based on control messages used by WiMax basestations and subscribers. This will be done through analysis of traditional geolocation techniques and modification of the computational constraints to incorporate the WiMax control information. This approach leverages prior knowledge of mobile phone geolocation with new knowledge of the WiMax signal. Validation will be conducted through simulation of WiMax intercept under a variety of conditions.
