Abstract: There are many techniques for determining the route of a mobile terminal. Among these techniques, some can be used to estimate this route along roads in a transport network using signalling data. Regarding the cross-referencing of this information with transport network graphs to determine this route, it is known to use hidden Markov models (HMMs). When the position of the mobile terminal is obtained using data collected from the radio communication network to which the mobile terminal is attached, the routes taken by a mobile terminal determined using a HMM on the basis of this information are uncertain. The present method and device helps to overcome this limitation by using a likelihood map of support by a base station to calculate a probability of connection of the mobile terminal to a given base station.

Abstract: A cable connector of the present invention comprises an insulative housing, a number of conductive contacts, a pair of positioning levers and an insulative shell. The insulative housing has a mating face on a front end for mating with a mating connector and receives a mating portion of the conductive contacts therein. A metal shield is fitted to the front end of the insulative housing, thereby enclosing the mating portion of the conductive contacts. The pair of the positioning levers extends through respective holes defined in opposite sides of the insulative housing and each defines a retaining portion which extends beyond the mating face of the insulative housing for securely engaging with a mating connector. The insulative shell encloses the retaining portions of the pair of the positioning levers and the metal shield, thereby guarding electronic components near the cable connector from accidental electrostatic discharge.
