Abstract

See full text

Service node for a telecommunication network (15) and method for determining a group of n user terminals (21) which are closest to a point of interest (22). First, a search range with an upper limit (24) is set. Then in an iterative manner, a current search cell of the set of cells (1-10) is determined and the search cell is queried for user data. The user terminals (21) are added to a set of found user terminals, and if the set of found user terminals comprises n or more user terminals (21), the upper limit (24) of the search range is adjusted to the n.sup.th lowest distance. This is repeated until no further possible cell (1-10) can be determined. The set of criteria can be set and matched with obtained user data to find a closest user terminal (21) having a specific role.
