Abstract
Apparatus (30) is configured: to transmit angle-of-departure positioning messages from which a mobile device (11) can calculate a direction to the mobile device from the apparatus (30); and to transmit a point of interest packet data unit for providing a point of interest service to a mobile device (11), the first point of interest packet data unit comprising first data indicating a first range from a first point of interest.

Apparatus, the apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor:
- to receive at least one angle-of-departure positioning message from a positioning beacon;
- to receive a point of interest packet data unit from the positioning beacon, the point of interest packet data unit comprising first data indicating a first range from a first point of interest;
- to use the angle-of-departure positioning message to calculate a position of the apparatus;
- and
- to respond to determining that the position of the apparatus has a certain relationship with respect to an area defined by the first range and the first point of interest by providing a notification.
Apparatus, the apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory having computer-readable code stored thereon which when executed controls the at least one processor:
- to transmit at least one angle-of-departure positioning message from a positioning beacon to aid a mobile device in calculating its position;
- to transmit a point of interest packet data unit from the positioning beacon, the point of interest packet data unit comprising first data indicating a first range from a first point of interest;
- in response to the apparatus determining that the position of the mobile device has a certain relationship with respect to an area defined by the first range and the first point of interest, transmit a succession of angle-of-departure positioning messages and point of interest packet data unit messages to guide the mobile device via several notional points of interest.
A method comprising:
- transmitting angle-of-departure positioning messages from which a mobile device can calculate a direction to the mobile device from an apparatus;
- and
- transmitting a point of interest packet data unit for providing a point of interest service to a mobile device, the first point of interest packet data unit comprising first data indicating a first range from a first point of interest.
