Positioning a subscriber terminal in a cellular network using packet switched messages both packet switching and circuit switching.

摘要

Method for determining the position of a terminal (MS) subscriber in a mobile phone network for packet switching, in which to determine the position of the terminal is passed a message through a network element (102, 501) the mobile phone network; characterized in that for implementing the communications required for the positioning, in said network element (102, 501) of the mobile radio network messages they are used both circuit-switched and packet-switched; said network element (102, 501) establishes an association (507) between these messages for transferring data related to a determination of the specific position between functionality packet-switched and circuit-switched, and wherein a connection is used circuit switched between said network element (102, 501) and a center (505) location, wherein said network element (102, 501) is a network element of a base station system of the network mobile telephony.
