*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18042006 Titled 'ASSISTED GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM ALGORITHM ENHANCEMENT WHEN NO SERVING CELL IS FOUND'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an apparatus and methods for positioning services. In one scenario, a wireless device sends a request for assistance data to a location management network node. The request includes information about neighboring cells. The wireless device then receives assistance data, which includes satellite measurement information based on the neighboring cell information. In another scenario, the location management network node receives a request for assistance data from a wireless device and sends back assistance data, including satellite measurement information based on the neighboring cell information.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Apparatus and methods related to positioning services. In one embodiment, a wireless device (, ) sends a request assistance data message comprising at least one neighbor cell identification, ID, to a location management network node (); and receive a provide assistance data message comprising assistance data, the assistance data including satellite measurement information for the wireless device and the satellite measurement information being based at least in part on the at least one neighbor cell ID. In one embodiment, a location management network node () is configured to receive a request assistance data message comprising at least one neighbor cell ID from a wireless device (, ); and send a provide assistance data message comprising assistance data, the assistance data including satellite measurement information for the wireless device (, ) and the satellite measurement information being based at least in part on the at least one neighbor cell ID.
