Claim:
1. A method for selecting a positioning solution, the method comprising: receiving information of a channel allocated to a terminal for wireless communication with the terminal, wherein the information pertains to a data transfer characteristic of the channel; determining a size limit of assistance data that can be transmitted over the channel, based on the information of the channel; and selecting a first positioning solution from a set of positioning solutions, when the size limit of assistance data determined for the channel is greater than a first size threshold and selecting a second positioning solution from the set of positioning solutions, when the size limit of assistance data is not greater than the first size threshold, but is not less than a second size threshold, wherein the first positioning solution is mobile station (MS) based Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) solution and the second positioning solution is MS-assisted AGPS solution.
