Abstract: The position of a mobile communications device within a communications network (localization) is determined using communications signals of a base station that communicates with the mobile communications device using a mobile communications network. A possible area of location is determined using a non-linear communication model based on non-linear Bayesian filtering. The selected position of the mobile communications device is then determined on the basis of the possible area of location.

Abstract: To determine a position of a mobile communications device within a communications network (localization). possible location areas for the mobile communications device are determined from communications signals of the mobile communications device by using base stations located within the communication network, and these possible location areas are superimposed to form a common location area while using a non-linear quantity-based filter. The position of the mobile communications device is then determined while using the common locations area.
