METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING LOCATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for determining location information used in an electronic device of a communication system including a plurality of communication devices, comprising:
- transmitting a location request signal via a plurality of communication networks of the communication system;
receiving a location response signal with respective location information from at least one communication device of the plurality of communication devices; and
determining location information of the electronic device as a function of the received location response signal;
wherein the location request signal is transmitted successively to different networks in a specific order among said networks until the location information of the electronic device is determined based on the location response signal.
