System and method for determining a location area of a mobile user
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for determining a location area of a user using a mobile communication terminal in a geographical area covered by a mobile radio network. Antenna probabilities, corresponding to a plurality of antennas located in the geographical area, may be determined for a plurality of sub-areas of the geographical area. The antenna probabilities may be determined based on expected field strengths for the plurality of antennas in each of the plurality of sub-areas, and may indicate for each particular antenna, in each of the plurality of sub-areas, the probability that a mobile communication terminal uses that particular antenna when located in that sub-area. The location area for the user may be determined based on the antenna probabilities and determination of one or more antennas used by the mobile communication termination the user is using, without requiring measuring signal properties at the particular mobile communication terminal.
