Abstract
An apparatus obtains fingerprints that have been collected by a plurality of mobile devices at a particular site for supporting a positioning of other mobile devices, each fingerprint comprising results of measurements on radio signals of at least one communication node at a particular location and an indication of the particular location. The apparatus generates feedback information based on the obtained fingerprints as a whole for coordinating a collection of fingerprints by the plurality of mobile devices. The apparatus transmits the feedback information to the plurality of mobile devices for presentation to users of the mobile devices.
