Abstract
A method and a wireless device () for managing a positioning method based on prediction as well as a method and a network node () for managing mobility patterns for use by a wireless device () when performing a positioning method based on prediction are disclosed. The wireless device () performs mobility measurements relating to mobility of the wireless device (). The wireless device () estimates a position of the wireless device () based on prediction by using the mobility measurements and a first intra-cell pattern. The wireless device () detects whether the wireless device () is on the first intra-cell pattern or on a second intra-cell pattern, when the estimated position has reached a checkpoint of the first intra-cell pattern. The network node () receives information about mobility patterns. The mobility patterns comprise intra-cell patterns of cells visited by the wireless device (). The network node () identifies one or more checkpoints by finding a junction between at least two of the intra-cell patterns.
