METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ZONE CREATION AND ADAPTION
First Claim
1. A method of updating a zone profile in a mobile radio terminal characterized by the steps of:
- storing a zone profile having a plurality of elements;
obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements;
modifying an existing profile element corresponding to at least one low priority element of the zone profile if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one low priority element; and
adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to at least one missing element of the zone profile if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one missing element.

Abstract
Methods and systems of updating a zone profile comprising obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements and, if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a dominant element of the zone profile and if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a candidate element (e.g., statistically unlikely element) of the zone profile, updating the profile by either adjusting an existing parameter value or by adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to the candidate element.

23. A method of updating a zone profile in a mobile radio terminal characterized by the steps of:
-
storing a zone profile having a plurality of profile elements, wherein each profile element includes a cell ID associated with a priority; obtaining a plurality of cell ID measurements; modifying an existing profile element having a low priority if the plurality of cell ID measurements contains measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the existing profile element having a low priority; adding to the zone profile a new profile element having a cell ID that is not included in any profile element of the zone profile if the plurality of cell ID measurements contains measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the cell ID that is not included in any profile element of the zone profile; and transmitting the zone profile to a server. - View Dependent Claims (38)
