A METHOD OF LOCATING A MOBILE STATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method of locating a mobile station and a cellular radio network. The method comprises the following steps: the information received and measured by a mobile station (150) is transmitted to a network management system (100), the information received and measured by the mobile station (150) is compared with the field strength information in a field strength matrix (220), the location of the mobile station (150) is estimated as coordinates of the field strength matrix (220) in relation to the base station (124) of the serving cell (132) and the base station (126) of at least one neighbouring cell (130) in such a manner that the information (140, 142) received and measured by the mobile station (150) corresponds to the field strength information in the field strength matrix (220) as accurately as possible. The invention also discloses necessary modifications to the system applying the method.
