Abstract: For enhancing the transmission of time related information, a message is received or assembled, which includes a reference time identifier. The received or assembled message is provided for transmission. At a receiving end, the reference time identifier and additional information are extracted from a received message, and the additional information is processed taking account of the reference time identifier. Alternatively or in addition, the message may include a reference time, which is indicated in units of seconds.

Abstract: For enhancing the transmission of location information, a message is received or assembled, which includes location information and a reference time identifier. The reference time identifier identifies a reference time used in determining the location information based on satellite signals. The received or assembled message is provided for transmission to a server. At a server, the location information and the reference time identifier are extracted from a received message, and the location information is processed taking account of the reference time identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for acquisition of a signal in a wireless terminal receiving a modulated signal transmitted by at least one base station. In the wireless terminal, timing information of the signal from at least two different base stations is used for the acquisition of the signal of at least one of said base stations. The invention also relates to a system, in which the method is applied, as well as to a wireless terminal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of an electronic device. The electronic device is used for receiving signals from satellites of a positioning system, and in the method, a default position is determined for the electronic device, to be used for positioning. In the method, the time zone is also determined in which the electronic device is located, and at least the determined time zone data is used for determining said default position. Further, the invention relates to a system and an electronic device, in which the method is applied.
