Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting a real time location service provider enables improved positioning services. The method includes processing a request for a position of a portable electronic device, where the request identifies at least one local access point and a connected cellular communication cell to which the device is operatively connected (step 705). The connected cellular communication cell is then matched with a listed cellular communication cell, where the listed cellular communication cell is associated with the real time location service provider and with a plurality of registered access points (step 710). Further, the at least one local access point is matched with at least one registered access point in the plurality of registered access points (step 715). Finally, the real time location service provider is selected based on an association of the at least one registered access point with the real time location service provider (step 720).
