A method is provided for locating a radiocommunication device in a radiocommunication network comprising a plurality of distinct geographical cells. The device comprises a radiocommunication module allowing reception of radiocommunication carriers. Each carrier is associated with a cell of the network and is defined by a frequency and a cell identifier. The module performs the following steps: obtaining initialization information comprising a predetermined list of N1 reference carriers; selecting N carrier(s) from among the N1 reference carriers; for each carrier selected, determining the cell identifier, termed the current cell identifier, associated with the selected carrier, on the basis of system information messages conveyed by the carrier; and obtaining an item of information regarding the location of the radiocommunication device, on the basis of the current cell identifier or identifiers.
A method of locating a radiocommunication device in a radiocommunication network comprising a plurality of distinct geographical cells, said radiocommunication device comprising a radiocommunication module making possible reception of radiocommunication carriers, each carrier being associated with a cell of said network and being defined by a frequency, a power level and an identifier of said cell, wherein the method comprises the following steps performed by the module:
A computer readable memory comprising a computer program product recorded thereon, which comprises program code instructions for execution of a method of locating a radiocommunication device in a radiocommunication network, when said program is executed on a computer, wherein said radiocommunication network comprises a plurality of distinct geographical cells, said radiocommunication device comprising a radiocommunication module making possible reception of radiocommunication carriers, each carrier being associated with a cell of said network and being defined by a frequency, a power level and an identifier of said cell, wherein the method comprises the following steps performed by the module:
A radiocommunication module capable of receiving radiocommunication carriers, each carrier being associated with a geographical cell of a radiocommunication network comprising a plurality of distinct geographical cells, and being defined by a frequency, a power level and an identifier of said cell, said radiocommunication module being included in a radiocommunication device, wherein said module comprises:
