Preliminary
Feature description
Page 110 of 125
CellLocate
TM
is implemented using a set of two AT commands that allow configuration of the CellLocate
TM
service
(AT+ULOCCELL) and requesting position according to the user configuration (AT+ULOC). The answer is provided
in the form of an unsolicited AT command including latitude, longitude and estimated accuracy.
The accuracy of the position estimated by CellLocate
TM
depends on the availability of historical
observations in the specific area.
3.11.2
Hybrid positioning
With u-blox Hybrid positioning technology, u-blox Wireless devices can be triggered to provide their current
position using either a u-blox GPS receiver or the position estimated from CellLocate
TM
. The choice depends on
which positioning method provides the best and fastest solution according to the user configuration, exploiting
the benefit of having multiple and complementary positioning methods.
Hybrid positioning is implemented through a set of three AT commands that allow configuration of the GNSS
receiver (AT+ULOCGNSS), configuration of the CellLocate
TM
service (AT+ULOCCELL), and requesting the position
according to the user configuration (AT+ULOC). The answer is provided in the form of an unsolicited AT
command including latitude, longitude and estimated accuracy (if the position has been estimated by
CellLocate
TM
), and additional parameters if the position has been computed by the GNSS receiver.
The configuration of mobile network cells does not remain static (e.g. new cells are continuously added or
existing cells are reconfigured by the network operators). For this reason, when a Hybrid positioning method has
been triggered and the GNSS receiver calculates the position, a database self-learning mechanism has been
implemented so that these positions are sent to the server to update the database and maintain its accuracy.
The use of hybrid positioning requires a connection via the DDC (I
2
C) bus between the LEON module and the
u-blox GPS receiver (Refer to chapter 1.9.2).
Refer to
GPS application note
[3] for the complete description of the feature.
u-blox is extremely mindful of user privacy. When a position is sent to the CellLocate
TM
server u-blox is
unable to track the SIM used or the specific device.
CellLocate and Hybrid positioning features are not supported by LEON-G100-05S and LEON-G200-05S
modules and previous versions.
