Assigning Location Information to Wireless Local Area Network Access Points
First Claim
1. A method comprising, performed by an apparatus:
- receiving a message including results of measurements on signals of at least one wireless local area network access point, the message further including an indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning or information enabling a non-cell based positioning;
determining as a condition whether location information is stored in a memory for the at least one wireless local area network access point and associated with an indication of a cell based positioning; and
in response to the condition being met, causing replacement of the stored location information in the memory by location information that is based on the indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning in the received message or the information enabling a non-cell based positioning in the received message, and associating it with an indication of a non-cell based positioning.

Abstract
An apparatus receives a message including results of measurements on signals of a WLAN access point. The apparatus determines as a first condition whether the message comprises no indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning and/or no information enabling a non-cell based positioning. The apparatus determines as a second condition whether the message comprises in addition results of measurements on signals of at least one cell of a cellular communications network. If the conditions are met, the apparatus determines a position based on the results of measurements on signals of the at least one cell of a cellular communications network and causes storage of location information that is based on the determined position in a memory for the WLAN access point, in case no location information has previously been stored in the memory for the WLAN access point.

9. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause at least one apparatus at least to perform:
-
receive a message including results of measurements on signals of at least one wireless local area network access point, the message further including an indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning or information enabling a non-cell based positioning; determine as a condition whether location information is stored in a memory for the at least one wireless local area network access point and associated with an indication of a cell based positioning; and in response to the condition being met, cause replacement of the stored location information in the memory by location information that is based on the indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning in the received message or the information enabling a non-cell based positioning in the received message, and associate it with an indication of a non-cell based positioning. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which computer program code is stored, the computer program code when executed by a processor causing at least one apparatus to perform the following:
-
receive a message including results of measurements on signals of at least one wireless local area network access point, the message further including an indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning or information enabling a non-cell based positioning; determine as a condition whether location information is stored in a memory for the at least one wireless local area network access point and associated with an indication of a cell based positioning; and in response to the condition being met, cause replacement of the stored location information in the memory by location information that is based on the indication of a position obtained in a non-cell based positioning in the received message or the information enabling a non-cell based positioning in the received message, and associate it with an indication of a non-cell based positioning.
