USER EQUIPMENT SELECTION FOR SIDELINK-ASSISTED POSITION ESTIMATION PROCEDURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17387797 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT SELECTION FOR SIDELINK-ASSISTED POSITION ESTIMATION PROCEDURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication that improve position estimation performance. Here are the key points:

• A communications device determines a position estimation performance parameter.
• Based on this parameter, the device assigns a zone identifier to identify one of multiple zones.
• The zone identifier is transmitted to one or more user equipment (UE).
• The UE receives the zone identifier and determines its own position estimation performance parameter.
• Using this parameter, the UE selects one or more candidate UEs for a sidelink-assisted position estimation procedure.
• The UE then performs the position estimation procedure with the selected candidate UEs.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Improved accuracy in wireless positioning systems.
• Enhanced performance in location-based services.
• More efficient resource allocation in wireless networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Inaccurate position estimation in wireless communication.
• Limited resources for position estimation procedures.
• Difficulty in selecting suitable UEs for collaborative position estimation.

Benefits of this technology:

• Higher accuracy in determining the position of wireless devices.
• Improved reliability of location-based services.
• Optimal utilization of network resources for position estimation.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a communications device determines at least one position estimation performance parameter, determines a zone identifier based at least in part upon the at least one position estimation performance parameter, wherein the zone identifier identifies one of a plurality of zones, and transmits the zone identifier to one or more UEs. A UE receives the zone identifier, determines the at least one position estimation performance parameter, selects one or more candidate UEs for the sidelink-assisted position estimation procedure based at least in part upon the at least one position estimation performance parameter, and performs the sidelink-assisted position estimation procedure of the UE with at least the selected one or more candidate UEs.
