METHOD FOR POSITIONING, A POSITIONING SYSTEM, AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for delivering assistance data for positioning of a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- storing position data relating to more than one location area codes in at least one data base,examining which of the one or more location codes has been transmitted to the wireless communication device, where only a portion of a global cell identity is transmitted to the wireless communication device,transmitting the assistance data to the wireless communication device, wherein the assistance data includes at least position data about the location code that has been transmitted to the wireless communication device,receiving from the wireless communication device a determined position of the wireless communication device and the location area code,updating the position data stored in the at least one database relating to the local area code on the basis of the determined position of the wireless communication device and the location area code, andinvoicing a user of the wireless communication device for the transmitted assistance data.
