  • Method and a system for managing a cellular network data base
    Patent number: 10194277
    Abstract: A system and a method for managing a cellular network database for determining a position of a terminal device, wherein the database comprises multiple observation data sets (ODSP), wherein one or more observation data set(s) (ODSP) is/are assigned to one cell, wherein a first collection of observation data sets (ODSP) comprises at least one observation data set (ODSP) assigned to a first cell, wherein a further collection of observation data sets (ODSP) comprises at least one observation data set (ODSP) assigned to a further cell, wherein at least one cell-identifying information and at least one cell coverage-related information and/or at least one base station position-related information is determined for each collection, wherein the first collection and the further collection are assigned to one cell if at least one cell identity-related criterion and at least one cell coverage-related criterion and/or at least one base station position-related criterion is fulfilled.
