Claim:
1. A method for fingerprinting positioning measurement, the method being implemented by a radio node in a wireless communications network and comprising: requesting to receive radio channel-related information; receiving the radio channel-related information by the radio node; performing a fingerprinting positioning measurement based on a location-related request; and enhancing the fingerprinting positioning measurement with the radio channel-related information; analyzing a measurement result with respect to a reference measure; obtaining a relative difference or ratio based on the analyzing; reporting the measurement result of the fingerprinting positioning measurement in a positioning-related message to a network node, wherein the measurement result comprises the fingerprinting positioning measurement enhanced with the radio channel-related information for use in optimizing signal transmissions, and wherein the radio channel-related information comprises at least one of Doppler information, speed information, and delay spread information; receiving, from the network node, alteration instructions based on the measurement result; and altering the fingerprinting positioning measurement based on the alteration instructions to select or re-select assistance nodes and type of measurements.
