METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOBILE POSITIONING

摘要

A solution in particular in multi vendor situations allowing access to a mobile location center for example having capability for specific positioning methods such as fingerprinting with minor impact on existing standards. The method and system for determining a position of a UE comprises the steps of a first network node receiving a request for positioning information about the UE; the first network node requesting a first positioning procedure at a first location node; the first location node determining using the first positioning procedure that involvement by a second location node is needed; the first location node initiating a trigger for positioning information about the UE to be sent to the second location node; the second location node upon receiving the trigger for positioning information and determining the presence of an environment measurement parameter determining the position information of the UE by performing a second positioning procedure based on the environment measurement parameter and sending a position calculation response with the positioning information.
