Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method (100) for geolocating a terminal (20i) by means of an access network of a wireless communication system. The invention is based on cooperation between a first geolocation method and a second geolocation method, as well as on control of an operating mode of the terminals (20). When a terminal (20, 20i) is configured in a first operating mode, it allows the access network to estimate (102) the position of the terminal using the first geolocation method. The positions estimated by the first geolocation method are used to train (103) the machine learning algorithm of the second geolocation method. It then becomes possible, once the algorithm has been trained, to estimate (104) the geographical position of a terminal (20i) even if this terminal is not in the first operating mode. The first geolocation method is more accurate than the second geolocation method, but it requires more power consumption and/or radio resources for the terminals (20).
