POSITIONING BASED ON COVERAGE AREA POSITION INFORMATION LOCALLY STORED IN A TERMINAL

摘要

It is inter alia disclosed to determine respective coverage area identification information of one or more coverage areas (5-1, 5-2) associated with a terminal (2c). From a database locally stored in a memory of the terminal (2c) and at least based on the determined coverage area identification information, respective coverage area position information of one or more coverage areas of the one or more coverage areas (5-1, 5-2) associated with the terminal (2c) is obtained. A position estimate for the terminal (2c) is determined at least based on the obtained coverage area position information. It is further disclosed to retrieve database information from a database or an entity connected to the database according to a specification defining which database information shall be retrieved. The database comprises, for a plurality of coverage areas (5-1, 5-2), respective coverage area identification information and respective coverage area position information. The specification defines for which coverage areas (5-1, 5-2) respective information shall be contained in the database information. The retrieved database information is stored or provided.
