Devices and methods for providing information or for providing historical information or for providing a measurement strategy for positioning an entity in a
wireless communication network, in particular based on
artificial intelligence or
machine learning, wherein the method for providing the measurement strategy comprises receiving (202) a measurement for positioning the entity, wherein the measurement is acquired using a sample-based measurement method or a path-based measurement method, receiving (208) a message comprising context information, wherein the context information characterizes the environment of the entity, in particular an urban or
rural environment, receiving (210) a message comprising motion information, wherein the motion information characterizes a movement of the entity or of a user carrying the entity, in particular walking, driving, standing still,Receiving (206) a message comprising historical information, wherein the historical information characterizes a historical performance indicator of the communication network, for example, a
signal-to-
noise ratio, a bandwidth size; determining (214) fused information depending on the measurement, the context information, the motion information, and the historical information, wherein the fused information characterizes a positioning environment of the entity; selecting (214) the path-based measurement method or the probe-based measurement method according to the result of analyzing the fused information; and sending (216) a message specifying the measurement strategy, in particular the use of the probe-based or the path-based method to measure a further measurement for positioning the entity.
