USING INFORMATION ON NEIGHBOR CELLS OF OTHER NETWORK TYPES AND/OR OTHER OPERATORS FOR MOBILE TERMINAL POSITIONING
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, said at least one memory and said computer program code configured to, with said at least one processor, cause said apparatus at least to perform one of providing and obtaininginformation on a serving cell that is, at a point of time, serving a mobile terminal andinformation related to a neighbor cell that is, at least substantially at said point of time, observed by said mobile terminal,wherein said serving cell is a cell of a first communication network, wherein said neighbor cell is a cell of a second communication network, and wherein said first communication network meets at least one of the following conditions:
- it has a type that is different from a type of said second communication network andis operated by an operator that is different from an operator of said second communication network.
