Method of determining a quality measure of a position measurement method for a cellular telecommunication network
First Claim
1. A method of determining a quality measure of a position measurement method for a cellular telecommunication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- identification of a first measurement area having at least a predefined number of neighbouring first cells, the first measurement area belonging to a selected class of measurement areas, defining of first sub-areas in the first measurement area by applying a predefined grid on the first measurement area, performing position measurements by means of the position measurement method in at least a sub-set of the first sub-areas, determining of measurement errors for the position measurements, determining of the quality measure based on the measurement errors.

9. A computer program product, in particular digital storage medium, for planning of position measurements for the purpose of determining a quality measure of a position measurement method for a cellular telecommunication network, comprising program means for performing the steps of:
-
accessing of cartographic and network topology data for the cellular telecommunication network, identification of a first measurement area having at least a predefined number of neighbouring first cells, the first cells having at least a first size, the identification being performed on the basis of the cartographic and/or network topology data, defining of first sub-areas in the first measurement area by applying a predefined grid on the first measurement area, identification of a second measurement area having at least the predefined number of neighbouring second cells, each one of the second cells having a maximum second size, whereby the second size is smaller than the first size, the identification being performed on the basis of the cartographic and/or network topology data, defining of second sub-areas in the second measurement area by applying a second predefined grid on the second measurement area, providing a measurement plan for the first and second measurement areas.
