  • Publication number: 20220342024
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium are provided for reconfiguring a radio positioning support system. In a method, one or more observation reports are received. Each observation report is associated with a respective radio positioning support device of a radio positioning support system. Each observation report contains an indication for a number of radio positioning support devices and/or for each radio positioning support device from which a radio positioning support signal is observable at a position of said respective radio positioning support device. The method also determines, based on said observation reports, whether a predetermined radio positioning support criterion is met by said radio positioning support system. If it is determined that the predetermined radio positioning support criterion is not met by the radio positioning support system, the method at least partially reconfigures and/or causes at least partially reconfiguration of the radio positioning support system.

  • Patent number: 11313939
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are provided for determining displacement information for a radio node. In a method respective position information is obtained that is indicative of a position of a respective radio node. The method determines the position of the respective radio node based on respective radio measurements of further respective radio nodes surrounding the respective radio node and on further respective radio measurements gathered by the respective radio node. The respective signals are sent by the one or more respective radio nodes surrounding the respective radio node. The method also determines displacement information based on the respective position information that is obtained and the determined position of the respective radio node. The displacement information is indicative of a displacement of the respective radio node if the determined position of the respective radio node differs from the position of the respective radio node represented by the obtained position information.
