Method and arrangement relating to mobile telephone communications network
First Claim
1. An arrangement in a first mobile communications network communicating with a first mobile station and a second mobile communications network, comprising:
- Positioning means for positioning a plurality of second mobile stations wherein at least one of said plurality of second mobile stations is located outside of said first mobile communications network and serviced by said second communications network;
A data storing arrangement for storing first data identifying said first mobile station wherein said data storing arrangement further storing second data associating first mobile station with said plurality of second mobile stations, Wherein said data storing arrangement further storing position data associated with each of said second mobile stations wherein said position data for each of said plurality of second mobile stations are determined by said positioning means without establishing a call connection between said first mobile station and said second plurality of second mobile stations; and
Means for communicating said stored position data associated with said plurality of second mobile stations to said first mobile station.
