Measurement systems and methods for fingerprinting positioning
First Claim
1. A method performed by a user terminal served by a communication network, the method comprising:
- initiating, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of additional positioning data, wherein the additional positioning data is in addition to position data and includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined, and wherein the message includes an identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders;
measuring, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message;
generating, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter;
selecting, within the user terminal based on the identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; and
transmitting, the selected one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network.

Abstract
A system, computer software and method for collecting, in addition to position data, additional positioning data in a user terminal served by a communication network. The method includes initiating, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of the positioning data, where the positioning data includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined; measuring, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message; producing, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter; selecting, within the user terminal, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; reporting the selected one or more measurement reports to an interface within the user terminal; and transmitting, from the interface, the reported one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network.

10. A user terminal configured to be served by a communication network, the user terminal comprising:
-
processing circuitry configured to; initiate, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of additional positioning data, wherein the additional positioning data is in addition to position data and includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined, and wherein the message includes an identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders, measure at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message, generate measurement reports that include the at least one parameter, and select, within the user terminal based on the identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; and a transceiver connected to the processing circuitry and configured to transmit the one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by processing circuitry, make a user terminal served by a communication network operative to:
-
initiate, by generating a message within the user terminal, collection of additional positioning data, wherein the additional positioning data is in addition to position data and includes information based on which a physical location of the user terminal is determined, and wherein the message includes an identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders; measure, by the user terminal, at least one parameter related to the physical location of the user terminal in response to the message; generate, within the user terminal, measurement reports that include the at least one parameter; select, within the user terminal based on the identity used for user terminal initiated measurement orders, one or more measurement reports that were generated in response to the message generated by the user terminal; and transmit the one or more measurement reports to an external server or to the communication network. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
