METHOD IN COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR PROVIDING LOCATION INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIION ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method in a communication device for providing a location information of the communication device to a Minimization of Driving Tests, MDT, server, which communication device operates in a wireless communication environment, wherein the wireless communication environment comprises multiple networks comprising at least one cellular network and at least one satellite positioning system, the method comprising:
- determining a signal strength received from a satellite in a satellite positioning system by measuring the signal strength at a positioning antenna, when an MDT measurement is started or triggered;
when the signal strength received from the satellite is above a threshold,determining a feasibility of an Assisted Global Position System, AGPS;
when the AGPS is feasible,initiating an AGPS session for obtaining the location information; and
sending the location information together with other MDT data to the MDT server.

Abstract
A method in a communication device for providing a location information of the communication device to a Minimization of Driving Tests, MDT, server is disclosed. The communication device operates in a wireless communication environment which comprises multiple networks comprising at least one cellular network and at least one satellite positioning system. The communication device starts an MDT measurement and determines a signal strength received from a satellite in the satellite positioning system by measuring the signal strength at a positioning antenna. When the signal strength received from the satellite is above a threshold, the communication device 110 determines a feasibility of an Assisted Global Position System, AGPS. When the AGPS is feasible, the communication device initiates an AGPS session for obtaining the location information using an acquisition assistance data and sends the location information together with other MDT data to the MDT server.
