METHOD FOR ENABLING THE DETERMINATION OF A CELL IN WHICH A MOBILE TERMINAL IS LOCATED AMONG A GROUP OF CELLS OF A WIRELESS CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for enabling the determination of a cell in which a mobile terminal is located among a group of cells of a wireless cellular telecommunication network. Each cell of a group of cells is managed by a base station. The method comprises the steps of: - detecting the presence of the mobile terminal in the group of cells, - enabling the mobile terminal to transfer data to at least a part of the base stations which manage a cell of the group of cells, - receiving data from the mobile terminal through a base station which manages one cell of the group of cells, - determining the cell managed by the base station through which the data are received as the cell in which the mobile terminal is located.
