A method of determining geographic position of mobile terminals in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving raw measurement data in the mobile communication network;
- adapting the raw measurement data to be stored in an image format comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel of the image format represents information associated with more than one kind of data of the raw measurement data;
- and
- determining geographic position of mobile terminals based on the raw measurement data stored in the image format.
An apparatus for determining geographic position of mobile terminals in a mobile communication network, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive raw measurement data in the mobile communication network;
- a conversion unit configured to adapt the raw measurement data to be stored in an image format comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel of the image format represents information associated with more than one kind of data of the raw measurement data;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine geographic position of mobile terminals based on the raw measurement data stored in the image format.
An interface for sharing raw measurement data between two entities in a mobile communication network, the raw measurement data being adapted to be stored in an image format for determining geographic position of mobile terminals, wherein the image format comprises a plurality of pixels and wherein each pixel of the image format represents information associated with more than one kind of data of the raw measurement data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer code stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving raw measurement data in a mobile communication network;
- adapting the raw measurement data to be stored in an image format comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel of the image format represents information associated with more than one kind of data of the raw measurement data;
- and
- determining geographic position of mobile terminals based on the raw measurement data stored in the image format.
