English term or phrase: fixed position

Here Is the sentence:

Setting: a choice to activate first "fixed position" assistance by the network.

Could one of you esteemed colleagues please explain in plain layman's terms what a 'fixed position' is? I cannot find it in my Google searches. And thus have no concept and therefore no translation for the term.

Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
as for ex here:

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass der Fehler zwischen der gemessenen und der wirklichen Position in einem Gebiet von mehreren zehntausend Quadratkilometern annähernd gleich groß ist, lässt sich das DGPS folgendermaßen realisieren: Man positioniert einen GPS-Empfänger ***ortsfest*** an einem sehr genau bekannten Ort. Die Positionsdifferenz zwischen diesem bekannten Ort und dem gerade ermittelten Messwert wird in Echtzeit, d.h. sofort, über eine Datenfunkstrecke an den Navigierenden übermittelt. Dessen GPS-Empfänger bzw. -Navigator korrigiert mit diesen Daten seine eigenen, ebenfalls in Echtzeit gemessenen Positionsdaten. Da die Fehler sich ständig ändern, wird die zu bestimmende Position um so genauer sein, je schneller diese Korrektur nach der Fehlerermittlung erfolgt
