Abstract:
A method for positioning a mobile terminal in a radio network including a plurality of base stations, comprising: transmitting a signal from a base station for receipt in the mobile terminal along a line of sight of a radio beam; receiving time measurement data from the mobile terminal, obtained based on receipt in the mobile terminal of the transmitted signal; calculating a distance value (DLOS) for the distance from the base station to the mobile terminal based on the time measurement data; and calculating a vertical position (Dv) of the mobile terminal, based on the distance value and an elevation angle (θ) of the line of sight of the radio beam from one or more of the plurality of base stations.
