Abstract
A system, computer software and method for collecting, in addition to position data, additional positioning data in a user terminal served by a communication network. The method includes initiating, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of the positioning data, where the positioning data includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined; measuring, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message; producing, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter; selecting, within the user terminal, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; reporting the selected one or more measurement reports to an interface within the user terminal; and transmitting, from the interface, the reported one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network.

33. A method in a user terminal served by a communication network, for collecting, in addition to position information requested by the communication network, additional position related information, the method comprising:
-
initiating, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of the additional position related information, wherein the additional position related information includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined; measuring, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message; producing, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter; selecting, within the user terminal and based on a measurement identity reserved for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; reporting the selected one or more measurement reports to an interface within the user terminal; and transmitting, from the interface, the reported one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A user terminal configured to collect, in addition to position information requested by a communication network, additional position related information, the user terminal being served by the communication network, the user terminal comprising:
-
a processor configured to initiate, by generating a message, collection of the additional position related information, wherein the additional position related information includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined, instruct a measuring unit to measure at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message, generate measurement reports that include the at least one parameter, instruct a selecting unit to select, based on a measurement identity reserved for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal, and report the selected one or more measurement reports to an interface within the user terminal; and a transceiver connected to the processor and configured to transmit the reported one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)

55. A computer readable medium for storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor in a user terminal served by a communication network, cause the processor to collect, in addition to position information requested by the communication network, additional position related information, the instructions comprising:
-
initiating, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of the additional position related information, wherein the additional position related information includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined; measuring, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message; producing, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter; selecting, within the user terminal and based on a measurement identity reserved for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; reporting the selected one or more measurement reports to an interface within the user terminal; and transmitting, from the interface, the reported one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59)
