The application relates to the field of localizing a mobile terminal (102) in which a selection is first of all made between satellite-based and radio-network-based localization and also between various radio-network-based localization methods. For the purpose of localizing mobile terminals, such as smartphones, notebook computers and other mobile communication terminals, a series of radio-based measurement methods are known which can be used to approximatively determine the position of a terminal using received radio signals. Given appropriate radio network coverage of the area which contains the terminal that is to be localized, radio-network-based methods have the advantage that the localization is also possible inside buildings. However, the radio-network-based localization requires a particular density of radio access points (101a-f), which is not provided everywhere. For radio-network-based localization, there are a plurality of methods available which, depending on the reception situation of the terminal, allow localization with various accuracies, particularly lateration or pattern recognition methods using a "Fingerprint". Against this background, it is a problem for the present application to be able to perform targeted selection of a suitable radio-network-based localization method when radio-network-based localization can be carried out. The problem is solved particularly by establishing whether radio-network-based localization is possible and by selecting the best localization method.
