A method for use by a wireless communication network (18) in responding
to a request (b) originating from a requester (19) for an estimate of the
position of a mobile terminal (11)—the request provided via an LCS
server (16a)—along with a requested accuracy, the method including
a step in which a controller (12b) of the radio access network (12)
by which the mobile terminal (11) is coupled to the cellular network (18)
provides a response (h) to the request including not only the position/location
estimate but also either the accuracy of the estimate in a form directly useable
by the LCS server (e.g. in same form as the requested accuracy), or an accuracy
fulfillment indicator, i.e. an indication of whether the accuracy of the estimate
is at least as good as the requested accuracy.
