Abstract
Method for determining the position of a terminal (14) in a cellular mobile radio network (10). with network measurements being executed in the terminal (14) for selection of a service cell (CEL), with the following steps: transfer (S2) of a measurement data request message from a position determination server (16) to the terminal (14), reading out (S3) of measurement data determined by the network measurements from a measurement data memory (40) in the terminal (14) in response to the request message, transfer (S4) of a response message with the read out measurement data from the terminal (14) to the position determination server (16), calculation (S5) of the position of the terminal (14), based on the measurement data transferred, in the position determination server (16).

19. A method of determining the position of a terminal in a cellular mobile radio network using network measurements to determine a service cell, the method comprising:
-
transferring a measurement data request to the terminal by a position determining server;
reading out of measurement data acquired by the network measurements from a measurement data memory included in the terminal in response to the measurement data request;
transmitting a measurement data response including the measurement data to the position determining server by the terminal; and
determining the position of the terminal based on the measurement data by the position determining server. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A device for determining the position of a terminal in a cellular mobile radio network, comprising:
-
a measuring unit adapted to determine a service sell using network measurements and included in the terminal;
a measurement data memory for buffering measurement data acquired by the network measurements;
a measurement request unit for retrieving the measurement data, the measurement request unit included in the terminal; and
a position determining server, wherein the measurement request unit is adapted to;
process a measurement data request received from the position determining server;
read out the measurement data from the measurement data memory in response to the processing of the measurement data request;
generate a measurement data response related to the read out measurement data; and
transmit the measurement data response to the position determining server, and the position determining server is adapted to;
generate and transmit the measurement data request to the terminal;
receive and process the measurement data response transmitted from the terminal including retrieving the measurement data from the measurement data response; and
determine the position of the terminal based on the measurement data. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
