Method in communication device for providing location information in wireless communication environment
First Claim
1. A method performed by a communication device operating in a wireless communication environment, the method comprising:
- in response to a Minimization of Driving Tests (MDT) measurement being started, determining a signal strength received from a satellite in a satellite positioning system by measuring the signal strength at a positioning antenna of the communication device without using a Global Position System (GPS) receiver of the communication device;
when the signal strength received from the satellite is above a threshold, determining a feasibility of an Assisted Global Position System (AGPS) session;
in response to a determination that an AGPS session is feasible, initiating an AGPS session for determining location information of the communication device; and
sending the location information to an MDT server.

Abstract
A method in a communication device for providing a location information of the communication device to a Minimization of Driving Tests, MDT, server is disclosed. The communication device operates in a wireless communication environment which comprises multiple networks comprising at least one cellular network and at least one satellite positioning system. The communication device starts an MDT measurement and determines a signal strength received from a satellite in the satellite positioning system by measuring the signal strength at a positioning antenna. When the signal strength received from the satellite is above a threshold, the communication device 110 determines a feasibility of an Assisted Global Position System, AGPS. When the AGPS is feasible, the communication device initiates an AGPS session for obtaining the location information using an acquisition assistance data and sends the location information together with other MDT data to the MDT server.
