1. A method for cellular telephony mobile equipment location-based services data transmission in which an application carries out measures on Base Transceiver Stations or associated cells by detecting, storing and transmitting respective information to a remote Service Center by means of messages, where a processing system, applying calculation procedures and a Base Transceiver Stations geographic position database, computes data associated with the location-based services, the method comprising the steps of:

  • generating in the application at least one message containing a set of data in compressed format, the set of data being selected from a set comprising specific data on each single message, specific data on the message set, specific data on measurements and specific data on the cells monitored by the mobile equipment wherein the dimensions of the specific data on the measurements generated in compressed format depend on results of the measurements made at a current instant and those obtained at an earlier time,wherein the data in compressed format comprise, for each measurement;

    data representing an intensity of a signal of the serving cell associated with the mobile equipment;

    a label indicating which data pertaining to the serving cell, among a serving cell identifier, a local area code, a mobile country code and a mobile network code, have changed with respect to a previous measurement; and

    a number of monitored neighboring cells associated with the mobile equipment,wherein whenever a new measurement is made, the application checks which data of the serving cell, among the serving cell identifier, the local area code, the mobile country code and the mobile network code, have changed with respect to the previous measurement and consequently sets the label, adding only the corresponding data which have changed to the body of the message.
