First Claim
1. A method of determining a neighbour list for location position determination in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- generating an initial neighbour list;
temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list;
collecting measurement reports related to each neighbour in the list;
comparing the measurement statistics for each neighbour in the list; and
adding the candidate neighbour to the list if measurement reports for the candidate neighbour are better than those of a neighbour in the list.

Abstract
There is disclosed a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells each associated with a plurality of radio access points, and at least one mobile user connected in one cell via a radio access point, the system further including a network element associated with said plurality of cells for maintaining a neighbour list for location position determination of the mobile user, the network element including: means for generating an initial neighbour list, comprising the identity of those radio access points determined to be neighbouring the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected; means for temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list, comprising the identity of a radio access point determined to be a potential neighbour of the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected; means for collecting measurement reports for each neighbour in the neighbour list, including the candidate neighbour; means for comparing the measurement reports for each neighbour; and means for adding the candidate neighbour to the neighbour list if measurement reports for the candidate neighbour determine that the candidate neighbour is a neighbour of the radio access point, and thereby automatically maintaining a location services neighbour list for a mobile user.

41. A mobile communication system including a plurality of cells each associated with a plurality of radio access points, and at least one mobile user connected in one cell via a radio access point, the system further including a network element associated with said plurality of cells for maintaining a neighbour list for location position determination of the mobile user, the network element including:
- means for generating an initial neighbour list, comprising the identity of those radio access points determined to be neighbouring the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected;
means for temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list, comprising the identity of a radio access point determined to be a potential neighbour of the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected;
means for collecting measurement reports for each neighbour in the neighbour list, including the candidate neighbour;
means for comparing the measurement reports for each neighbour; and
means for adding the candidate neighbour to the neighbour list if measurement reports for the candidate neighbour determine that the candidate neighbour is a neighbour of the radio access point, and thereby automatically maintaining a location services neighbour list for a mobile user. - View Dependent Claims (42, 44)

45. A computer program product including computer program code for performing a method of determining a neighbour list for location position determination in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- generating an initial neighbour list;
temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list;
collecting measurement reports related to each neighbour in the list;
comparing the measurement statistics for each neighbour in the list; and

46. A computer program product including computer program code for carrying out a location positioning method in a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells each associated with a plurality of radio access points, and at least one mobile user connected in one cell via a radio access point, the network further including a network element associated with said plurality of cells for maintaining a neighbour list for location position determination of the mobile user, the method including:
- generating an initial neighbour list, comprising the identity of those radio access points determined to be neighbouring the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected;
temporarily including a candidate neighbour in the neighbour list, comprising the identity of a radio access point determined to be a potential neighbour of the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected;
collecting measurement reports for each neighbour in the neighbour list, including the candidate neighbour;
comparing the measurement reports for each neighbour; and
adding the candidate neighbour to the neighbour list if measurement reports for the candidate neighbour determine that the candidate neighbour is a neighbour of the radio access point, and thereby automatically maintaining a location services neighbour list for a mobile user.
- generating an initial neighbour list, comprising the identity of those radio access points determined to be neighbouring the radio access point with which the mobile user is connected;
