  • Position adjustment in mobile communications networks
    Patent number: 9817103
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an adjusted position (63, 64) of a mobile entity in an area (90) of a mobile communications network based on a reference position (61, 62) of the mobile entity in the area (90), the area being divided into different pixels (91). The method comprises determining the reference position (61, 62) of the mobile entity in the area (90), determining, for each pixel (91) of the area (90), a predicted signal level of a radio frequency field of the mobile communications network for the mobile entity, determining, for each pixel (91) of the area (90), a mobile traffic density indicating an expected density of the mobile traffic of the mobile communications network in the area, and determining, for the area (90), a probability matrix (200) of the area based on the reference position (61, 62), the predicted signal level and the mobile traffic density, the probability matrix indicating a likelihood that the mobile entity is located in the corresponding pixel of the area.
