POSITIONING OF A WIRELESS DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of positioning, comprising, at a mobile station:
- receiving at least one signal from a transmitter device, the at least one signal comprising an identity of the transmitter device;
sending the at least one identity of the transmitter device to a location server;
receiving one or more positioning assistance messages from the location server, wherein the one or more positioning assistance messages are generated in response to the identity of the transmitter device; and
performing positioning based at least in part on the one or more positioning assistance messages received from the location server.

Abstract
Techniques for supporting positioning are described. In an example implementation, a method of positioning may be provided which comprises, at a mobile station, receiving at least one signal from a transmitter device. Here, the received signal may comprise an identity of the transmitter device. The mobile station may send an identity of the transmitter device to a location server, and receive one or more positioning assistance messages from the location server, wherein the one or more positioning assistance messages are generated in response to the identity of the transmitter device. The mobile station may subsequently perform positioning based at least in part on the one or more positioning assistance messages received from the location server.
