USER EQUIPMENT SIGNALING TO SUPPORT BIAS DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17757690 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT SIGNALING TO SUPPORT BIAS DETECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication that address positioning bias events affecting the accuracy of location estimates in user equipment (UE). Here are the key points:

  • The UE receives positioning reference signals from a transmission-reception point (TRP) involved in a positioning session.
  • The UE analyzes parameters related to the positioning reference signals to detect if there is a positioning bias event.
  • A positioning bias event refers to any factor that affects the accuracy of the UE's location estimate.
  • If a positioning bias event is detected, the UE transmits a report of the event to a network node.
  • The network node receives the report and takes corrective actions to address the positioning bias event.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Location-based services: The techniques can improve the accuracy of location estimates used in various applications such as navigation, emergency services, and asset tracking.
  • Network optimization: By identifying and addressing positioning bias events, the network can optimize its resources and improve overall performance.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Positioning bias events can lead to inaccurate location estimates, which can impact the effectiveness of location-based services and other applications relying on accurate positioning information.
  • Without the ability to detect and report positioning bias events, network nodes may not be aware of the issues affecting location accuracy, making it challenging to address them.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved location accuracy: By detecting and addressing positioning bias events, the techniques can enhance the accuracy of location estimates in user equipment.
  • Enhanced user experience: More accurate location information can lead to better performance of location-based services, resulting in an improved user experience.
  • Network optimization: The ability to identify and correct positioning bias events allows network nodes to optimize their resources and improve overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives one or more positioning reference signals from a first transmission-reception point (TRP) involved in a positioning session with the UE, detects whether or not there is a positioning bias event associated with the first TRP based on one or more parameters related to the one or more positioning reference signals, the positioning bias event affecting an accuracy of a location estimate of the UE, and transmits, in response to the detection that there is a positioning bias event, a report of the positioning bias event to a network node. Upon receiving the report, the network node performs one or more corrective actions to address the positioning bias event.
