Method and arrangement in a telecommunication system

摘要

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for enhancing signal measurements for positioning in a device (22) of a telecommunication network. The method comprises receiving a plurality of transmissions from a plurality of cells, at least partially cancelling a transmission from a first cell of the plurality of cells, and then attempting to detect a transmission from a second cell of the plurality of cells. Timing measurements may then be taken from the plurality of received transmissions to enable the position of the device to be determined.

1. A method of enhancing signal measurements for positioning in a device of a telecommunications system, the telecommunications system further comprising a plurality of cells served by one or more radio base stations, the plurality of cells comprising at least a first cell and one or more second cells, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of transmissions from the plurality of cells; at least partially cancelling, from the plurality of received transmissions, a transmission from the first cell, generating one or more remaining transmissions; attempting to detect, from the one or more remaining transmissions, a transmission from the one or more second cells; and taking timing measurements from detected ones of the received transmissions to enable the position of the device to be determined.
