Method and Locating Device for Locating at Least One Mobile Radio Subscriber
First Claim
1. A method for locating at least one mobile radio subscriber in a mobile radio network, wherein the at least one mobile radio subscriber, with and/or without an active mobile radio link, transmits, at least once, a measurement report in the mobile radio network, wherein an itemization is provided in the measurement report that identifies at least two transmitting stations, wherein a value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from this transmitting station is allocated to each transmitting station, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a table organized according to geographic units of a presettable geographic area, wherein an itemization is provided for each geographic unit, which includes at least two transmitting stations, wherein to each transmitting station a pre-calculated value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from this transmitting station in the respective geographic unit is allocated;
b) organizing the transmitting stations in the measurement report according to the values correlated with the receive field strength of the signal from the respective transmitting station;
c) for each geographic unit, organizing the transmitting stations according to the values correlated with the receive field strength of the signal from the respective transmitting station;
d) comparing the results of organization of step c) and step d); and
e) allocating the location of the mobile radio subscriber to the geographic unit in which the comparison according to step d) has resulted in a correspondence according to at least one presettable criterion.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for locating at least one mobile radio subscriber in a mobile radio network. The mobile radio subscriber transmits a measurement report that includes an itemization identifying at least two transmitting stations. A value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from the transmitting stations is allocated to each transmitting station. A table is organized according to geographic units of a presettable area. A pre-calculated value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from a transmitting station is allocated to each transmitting station. The transmitting stations are organized according to the values correlated with the receive field strength of the signal from the respective transmitting station. The location of the mobile radio subscriber is determined based on the geographic unit meeting at least one presettable criterion.
