CA 2480348

A method for estimating the location of a terminal operating in a communication system having at least two networks having overlapping areas of coverage, each network supporting at least one method for estimating the location of the terminal, and the terminal being in communication with a first one of the networks, the method comprising: assessing which of the networks is likely to form the more accurate estimate of the location of the terminal; and if that is the first one of the networks, estimating the location of the terminal by means of the first one of the networks, and if that is a second one of the networks, handing over the terminal to the second one of the networks and estimating the location of the terminal by means of the second one of the networks.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'estimer la position d'un terminal fonctionnant au sein d'un système de communication qui comprend au moins deux réseaux présentant des zones de couverture chevauchantes. Chaque réseau permet le déroulement d'au moins un procédé d'estimation de la position du terminal. De plus, ce terminal est en communication avec un premier de ces réseaux. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à : évaluer quel réseau pourrait établir l'estimation la plus précise de la position du terminal ; et s'il s'agit du premier réseau, estimer la position de ce terminal au moyen du premier des réseaux, et s'il s'agit du second réseau, transférer le terminal au second réseau et estimer la position du terminal au moyen du second réseau.
