Patent ID: 8744479

Claim:
A method for locating at least one mobile radio subscriber in a mobile radio network, wherein the at least one mobile radio subscriber, with and/or without an active mobile radio link, transmits, at least once, a measurement report in the mobile radio network, wherein an itemization is provided in the measurement report that identifies at least two transmitting stations, wherein a value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from this transmitting station is allocated to each transmitting station, comprising the steps of: a) providing a table organized according to geographic units of a presettable geographic area, wherein an itemization is provided for each geographic unit, which includes at least two transmitting stations, wherein to each transmitting station a pre-calculated value correlated with the receive field strength of a signal from this transmitting station in the respective geographic unit is allocated, the pre-calculated value based on radio network planning data; b) organizing the transmitting stations in the measurement report according to the values correlated with the receive field strength of the signal from the respective transmitting station; c) for each geographic unit, organizing the transmitting stations according to the values correlated with the receive field strength of the signal from the respective transmitting station; d) comparing the results of organization of step b) and step c); and e) allocating the location of the mobile radio subscriber to the geographic unit in which the comparison according to step d) has resulted in a correspondence according to at least one presettable criterion wherein in the pre-calculation of the values of the table, at least the parameters of the height of the transmitting station is taken into account.
