Abstract
There is provided a computer-implemented method (300) of calculating a confidence score associated with a historical location estimate of a user equipment, UE. The computer-implemented method is implemented by first software entity. The method comprises retrieving (305) a historical UE location estimate, the historical UE location estimate having been provided by a second software entity, determining (310) whether the historical UE location estimate meets one or more criteria associated with calculating a confidence score, and based on the historical UE location estimate meeting the one or more criteria, calculating (380) a confidence score associated with the historical location estimate of the UE.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method of assessing the accuracy of a location estimate of a user equipment, UE, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a UE location estimate;
- receiving a first performance level of a communications network to which the UE is communicatively connected, the first performance level having been measured within a threshold time period of the UE location estimate;
- receiving a second performance level of the communications network, the second performance level having been measured after the first performance level was measured;
- and
- assessing the accuracy of the location estimate of the UE based on a comparison between the first performance level and the second performance level.
