Abstract
Current position information for a user equipment is obtained and is used to assist in cell search and to optimize calls requiring precision positioning made by the user equipment. The position information can be normalized to provide quicker lookup during cell search.
Claims16
A User Equipment (UE) configured for optimization of the cell search process comprising:
- an antenna for receiving at least one position signal;
- a processor configured to determine a position of the UE based on said position signal;
- and
- a memory for storing said determined position;
- wherein said processor uses said stored position to perform a cell search.
