Abstract
A method, performed in a positioning node of a wireless communication system, for positioning reporting in the wireless communication system comprises providing (210) of first positioning data of a first format in three dimensions. The first format represents a polygon with corner points. The corner points have coordinates in three dimensions. The first positioning data is transformed (220) into second positioning data of a second format. The second format represents the first positioning data as a representation of an elliptic cylinder that is centered around a centre point and has an elliptic base in a base plane. The second positioning data is reported (230) over an interface of the wireless communication system.

A method, performed in a positioning node of a wireless communication system, for positioning reporting in said wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- providing first positioning data of a first format in three dimensions, said first format representing a polygon with corner points, said corner points having coordinates in three dimensions;
- transforming said first positioning data into second positioning data of a second format, said second format representing said first positioning data as a representation of an elliptic cylinder being centered around a center point and having an elliptic base in a base plane;
- and
- reporting said second positioning data over an interface of said wireless communication system.
A positioning node for use in a wireless communication system, the positioning node comprising:
- an adaptive enhanced cell ID fingerprinting device;
- a report converter connected to or incorporated into said adaptive enhanced cell ID fingerprinting device and configured to receive first positioning data achieved by adaptive enhanced cell ID fingerprinting of a first format in three dimensions, said first format representing a polygon with corner points having coordinates in three dimensions, said report converter being further configured to transform said first positioning data into second positioning data of a second format, said second format representing said first positioning data as a representation of an elliptic cylinder being centered around a center point and having an elliptic base in a base plane;
- a report unit connected to said report converter and configured to report said second positioning data over an interface of said wireless communication system.
