Systems and methods for radio positioning based on a multi-set of network names

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

• obtain fingerprints that have been collected by at least one mobile device for supporting a positioning of other mobile devices, each fingerprint comprising at least results of measurements on radio signals of at least one communication node at a particular location, communication node names proximate to the particular location, and an area identifier for the particular location;
• receive, from a processor, a positioning request that contains at least a multiset of communication node names;
• select a radio model stored upon a server, wherein the radio model selected is based at least in part on the number of communication node names proximate to a fingerprint which match the node names in the positioning request that contains at least the multiset of communication node names;
• and
• generate data for a feedback for a user based on the selected radio model, wherein the data generated for feedback comprises combing two or more radio models to provide a positioning estimate for a user, wherein the radio models to be combined are selected based at least in part on a fingerprint.
