Abstract
For supporting the use of virtual reference stations, an apparatus may receive a request to provide virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for a virtual reference station, the request including an indication of a desired location of the virtual reference station. The apparatus may further determine an entity that is associated to an area including the desired location. The apparatus may further cause the request to be forwarded to the determined entity.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to provide virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for a virtual reference station, the request including an indication of a desired location of the virtual reference station;
- determining an entity that is associated to an area including the desired location;
- and
- causing the request to be forwarded to the determined entity.
An apparatus comprising a processor,
- the processor configured to receive a request to provide virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for a virtual reference station, the request including an indication of a desired location of the virtual reference station;
- the processor configured to determine an entity that is associated to an area including the desired location;
- and
- the processor configured to cause the request to be forwarded to the determined entity.
A computer readable storage medium in which computer program code is stored, the computer program code realizing the following when executed by a processor:
- receiving a request to provide virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for a virtual reference station, the request including an indication of a desired location of the virtual reference station;
- determining an entity that is associated to an area including the desired location;
- and
- causing the request to be forwarded to the determined entity.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving a request to provide virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for a virtual reference station, the request including an indication of a desired location of the virtual reference station;
- means for determining an entity that is associated to an area including the desired location;
- and
- means for causing the request to be forwarded to the determined entity.
A method comprising:
- providing access to a plurality of service providers, which offer virtual measurements on beacon signals that are valid for virtual reference stations, via a single access point.
