Patent ID: 8099106

Claim:
A method of classifying morphology at a location of a UE (user equipment), in order to assist the UE in efficiently performing position location operations, the method comprising: a) receiving a first set of data measurements from the UE, wherein the first set of data measurements are obtained by measuring a first set of signals received in said UE from RF (radio frequency) signal sources within range of said UE, to provide the first set of data measurements; b) responsive to said first set of data measurements, classifying a user's first morphology to form a user's first morphology classification; c) determining a level of confidence in said user's first morphology classification; and d) responsive to said user's first morphology classification and said level of confidence, transmitting position assistance information to the UE, wherein the position assistance information includes: first position assistance information including one or more parameters for a search of SPS (satellite positioning system) signals based on the user's first morphology classification; and second different position assistance information based on a second different morphology classification, wherein the second different position assistance information is different from the first position assistance information.
