Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zur Ermittlung einer Position einer mobilen Kommunikationseinrichtung in einem Kommunikationsnetz mit Kommunikationssignale sendefähigen Basisstationen und mit vorgegebenen, bekannten Basispositionen. Für jede Basisposition wird eine erste Empfangsinformation bestimmt, welche mindestens diejenigen Basisstationen angibt, deren zugehöriges Kommunikationssignal an der jeweiligen Basisposition empfangbar ist. Entsprechendes wird für die mobile Kommunikationseinrichtung an einem zu bestimmenden Ort durchgeführt, wobei eine zweite Empfangsinformation bestimmt wird. Bei einem Ähnlichkeitsvergleich wird jeweils die Ähnlichkeit zwischen einer von den ersten Empfangsinformationen und der zweiten Empfangsinformation ermittelt und diejenige Basisposition als der zu ermittelnde Ort des mobilen Kommunikationsgeräts ausgewählt, deren erste Empfangsinformation die größte Ähnlichkeit zu der zweiten Empfangsinformation aufweist.The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining a position of a mobile communication device in a communication network with communication signals transmitting base stations and with predetermined, known base positions. For each base position, a first reception information is determined which indicates at least those base stations whose associated communication signal can be received at the respective base position. The same is done for the mobile communication device at a location to be determined, wherein a second reception information is determined. In a similarity comparison, the similarity between one of the first reception information and the second reception information is determined in each case and that base position is selected as the location to be determined of the mobile communication device whose first reception information has the greatest similarity to the second reception information.
