Abstract
A telecommunications system and method for efficiently managing physical channels during a positioning handover to a target Base Transceiver Station. This can be accomplished by allowing a positioning handover to occur from one channel type, e.g., a traffic channel of the serving BTS, to another channel type, e.g., a control channel of the target BTS. Advantageously, in case of congestion on one type of channel in the target cell, the other type can be used, which allows the positioning handover to the desired target BTS to be performed and the data needed to be collected.
