Embodiment 1

[0157] Embodiment 1: A network node (500), arranged to support positioning of a wireless device (202) in a wireless network, the network node (500) includes a processing circuit, and the processing circuit is configured to:

[0158] - requesting or configuring (500A) the wireless device to provide location related reports when mobility criteria are met;

[0159] - receiving (500B) the requested location related report from the wireless device; and

[0160] - Obtaining (500C) a location or mobility state of the wireless device based on the received location related reports.

Embodiment 2

[0161] Embodiment 2: The network node (500) of embodiment 1, wherein the mobility criterion depends on the mobility behavior of the wireless device such that when the wireless device detects movement or changed location, location related reporting is necessary .

Embodiment 3

[0162] Embodiment 3: The network node (500) according to embodiment 1 or 2, wherein the processing circuitry in the network node (500) is configured to select or define a movement based on the capabilities of one or more sensors in the wireless device gender standard.

Abstract

Methods, network node (200) and wireless device (202) for supporting positioning of the wireless device in a wireless network. The network node requests (2:4) the wireless device to provide a positioning related report when a mobility criterion is fulfilled, which criterion may be selected (2:3) based on sensor capabilities of the device. The wireless device monitors (2:5) sensor measurements andevaluates the mobility criterion. When the mobility criterion is fulfilled the wireless device provides (2:6) the positioning related report to the network node which then obtains (2:7) the position or mobility status of the wireless device based on the positioning related report which may contain information related to said mobility status and/or sensor measurements made in the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to network nodes, wireless devices and methods thereof for supporting positioning of wireless devices in a wireless network. Background technique [0002] In this disclosure, the term "wireless device" is used to denote devices capable of radio communication with a wireless network by sending and receiving radio signals such as, for example, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices (also Any communicating entity known as a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device). Another common term in the art is "User Equipment (UE)," which is often used herein as a synonym for wireless device. [0003] Further, the term "network node" is used herein to denote any node of a wireless network operable to handle positioning activities as described herein. A network node may be a positioning node or a location server connected to a plurality of base stations or radio nodes in a wireless network. A n...
