1. A method comprising:
- receiving parameters for a plurality of models of a coverage area of a transmission node, the parameters of each model describing a different spatial constraint for a location of a receiving device,wherein the parameters of each of the models comprise a weight of the model, with the sum of the weights of the plurality of models being 100 percent.

Abstract
For enhancing the positioning of a mobile device, a server may generate parameters for each of a plurality of models of a coverage area of a transmission node on the assumption of a different spatial constraint for a location of a receiving device. The parameters of each of the models may be provided along with the associated indication of the spatial constraint for transmission. The position of a mobile device may be determined by evaluating the parameters of each of the models.
