The invention relates to the method for estimating the distance (d) of the receiver (102) from the radio transmitter (101) comprising steps (607, 611, 613) step (602) - radio signals receiving radiated radio signals (103, 701) with the radio transmitter (101) include components in which at least 3 tones (1,2,3,4) is since then extracted ; step (606) - its frequencies (f3, f4) which step - its frequencies (f1, f2) which have the frequency in which each is different measure the first phase difference (Δφ(sub)21(/sub)) between tones (1,2) of 2 firsts among : at least 3 tones have the first distance (spacing) measure the second phase difference (Δφ(sub)43(/sub)) between tones (3,4) of the second 2 among at least 3 tones have the second distance ; and it is greater than the other where one estimates the distance (d) among the first distance or the second distance based on : first phase difference (Δφ(sub)21(/sub)) and the second phase difference (Δφ(sub)43(/sub)). The invention relates to the methods relating for calculating moreover, the position of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal, and the device which is for the mobile terminal with the position location. Preferably the methods is applied to the transceiver systems using for example, the OFDM modulation like the cellular networks following the LTE (Long Term Evolution) standard and the systems based on the IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) standard.
