Abstract
Electronic arrangement for positioning a mobile device, including a mapping entity configured to obtain positioning data, from a plurality of measuring mobile devices present in an area of interest, establish and maintain, based on the obtained data, a multi-level probability map model structure for the area, wherein each higher level covers the area with lower spatial resolution by a plurality of determine sub-areas, each having a unitary character, and each lower level correspondingly covers, for each the sub-area of the adjacent upper level, a plurality of determined sub-areas thereof with higher spatial resolution, the lowest level determining the highest spatial resolution location elements of the model, optionally coordinates, a locating entity configured to obtain data provided by the mobile device, determine an estimate of the position of the mobile device by traversing through at least a portion of a number of vertical candidate paths of the multi-level probability model structure.
