Method and system for determining whether a terminal belongs to a target space in a communication network, related network and computer program product
First Claim
1. A method for determining whether at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined depending on at least one determination parameter, comprising:
- associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space;
associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and
varying said at least one determination parameter depending on said service specifications.

Abstract
The system allows determining whether at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that the terminal belongs or does not belong to the above target space. The belonging is determined depending on at least one determination parameter. The services are associated with, preferably through a model, respective service specifications indicating the allowable error margin in determining whether the terminal belongs or does not belong to the target space. The determination parameters are changed depending on the above service specifications.

16. A method for determining whether at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined by:
-
associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space.

17. A system for determining whether said at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined depending on at least one determination parameter, the system being configured to perform a method comprising:
-
associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and varying said at least one determination parameter depending on said service specifications.

18. A communications network configured in order to provide services based on whether a terminal belongs or does not belong to a target space, the network comprising a system for determining whether said at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined depending on at least one determination parameter, the system being configured to perform a method comprising:
-
associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and varying said at least one determination parameter depending on said service specifications.

19. A cellular communications network comprising a communications network comprising a plurality of cells that are subjected to serve said at least one terminal and configured to provide services based on whether a terminal belongs or does not belong to a target space, the network comprising a system for determining whether said at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined depending on at least one determination parameter, the system being configured to perform a method comprising:
-
associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and varying said at least one determination parameter depending on said service specifications.

20. A computer-readable medium adapted to be loaded in the memory of at least one processor and comprising portions of software code capable of performing a method for determining whether at least one terminal belongs to a target space in a communications network in order to provide a set of services linked to the fact that said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space, said belonging being determined depending on at least one determination parameter, comprising:
-
associating, with a first service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a first allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; associating, with a second service of the set of services, a service specification indicative of a second allowable error margin in determining whether said terminal belongs or does not belong to said target space; and varying said at least one determination parameter depending on said service specifications.
