Claims26
A method, in a first node, for obtaining an available radio measurement associated with a wireless device, the first node being comprised in a communications network, the method comprising:
- sending, to a second node, a positioning request for the available radio measurement, wherein the radio measurement is available when the radio measurement has already been taken and is being stored at the second node when the request is sent;
- receiving, from the second node, if the radio measurement is available, a communication comprising the available radio measurement and determining a location of the wireless device based on the available radio measurement;
- and
- receiving, from the second node, if the radio measurement is not available, an indication that the radio measurement is not available.
A first node for obtaining an available radio measurement associated with a wireless device, the first node being comprised in a communications network, the first node comprising:
- a transmitter configured to send, to a second node, a positioning request for the available radio measurement, wherein the radio measurement is available when the radio measurement has already been taken and is being stored at the second node when the request is sent;
- a receiver configured to receive, from the second node, if the radio measurement is available, a communication comprising the available radio measurement, and configured to receive, if the radio measurement is not available, an indication that the radio measurement is not available;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to, responsive to determining that the radio measurement is available, determine a location of the wireless device based on the available radio measurement.
A method, in a second node, for providing an available radio measurement associated with a wireless device, the second node being comprised in a communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first node, a positioning request for the available radio measurement, wherein the radio measurement is available when the radio measurement has already been taken and is being stored at the second node when the request is received;
- and
- sending, to the first node or a third node, if the radio measurement is available, a communication comprising the available radio measurement, wherein the first node or the third node determines a location of the wireless device based on the available radio measurement;
- and
- sending, to the first node or the third node, if the radio measurement is not available, an indication that the radio measurement is not available.
A second node for providing an available radio measurement associated with a wireless device, the second node being comprised in a communications network, the second node comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from a first node, a positioning request for the available radio measurement, wherein the radio measurement is available when the radio measurement has already been taken and is being stored at the second node when the request is received;
- and
- a transmitter configured to send, to the first node or a third node, if the radio measurement is available, a communication comprising the available radio measurement, wherein the first node or the third node determines a location of the wireless device based on the available radio measurement,
- wherein the transmitter is also configured to send, if the radio measurement is not available, an indication that the radio measurement is not available.
