Method and system for refining accuracy of location positioning

A system for determining a location of a mobile device, wherein

• the mobile device is configured to collect and transmit further at least positioning data and wireless communication cell data received from a plurality of base station belonging to at least one cellular network,
• a server is configured to receive and store the positioning data and the cell data of each of the plurality of base stations associated to the position data,
• the server is configured to calculate for each of the plurality of base stations a covered area estimation based on the positioning data and the cell data,
• the server is configured to complete the covered area estimation with additional data associated to the received position data and the received cell data, wherein the additional data represents at least a shape of the covered area estimation, and wherein the covered area estimation incorporates vertical level information,
• the server is configured to further receive the cell data and the processor is configured to relatively compare the actual cell data to the cell data of the covered area estimation of each of the plurality of base stations,
• the server is configured to select at least one base station from the plurality of base stations having the actual cell data that matches to the cell data of the covered area estimation,
• the server is configured to calculate the location of the mobile device from the positioning data of the covered area estimation of each selected at least one base station, wherein the location comprises an estimate of the vertical position of the mobile device, and
• the server configured to transmit further the location of the mobile device.

A module for determining a location of a mobile device configured to receive and transmit further at least positioning data and wireless communication cell data, the module comprising

• a receiver configured to receive and a memory configured to store the positioning data and the cell data of each of the plurality of base stations associated to the position data,
• an estimator configured to calculate for each of the plurality of base stations a covered area estimation based on the positioning data and the cell data,
• a modeler configured to complete the covered area estimation with additional data associated to the received position data and the received cell data, wherein the additional data represents at least a shape of the covered area estimation, and wherein the covered area estimation incorporates vertical level information,
• a locator configured to further receive actual cell data,
• the estimator configured to relatively compare the actual cell data to the cell data of the covered area estimation of each of the plurality of base stations,
• a selector configured to select at least one base station from the plurality of base stations having the actual cell data that matches to the cell data of the covered area estimation, and
• the locator configured to calculate the location of the mobile device from the positioning data of the covered area estimation of each selected at least one base station, wherein the location comprises an estimate of the vertical position of the mobile device.
