USER EQUIPMENT (UE) POSITIONING WITH FREQUENCY DOMAIN WINDOWING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809097 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT (UE) POSITIONING WITH FREQUENCY DOMAIN WINDOWING

Simplified Explanation

Abstract Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication. It introduces a method for a user equipment (UE) to process a positioning reference signal (PRS) received from a network node over a multipath channel. The UE applies multiple PRS processing windows to the PRS resource, calculates channel estimates based on these windows, and determines a positioning measurement of the PRS resource using these estimates.

Bullet Points

  • User equipment (UE) applies multiple PRS processing windows to a PRS resource received from a network node.
  • Channel estimates for the PRS resource are determined based on the multiple PRS processing windows.
  • A positioning measurement of the PRS resource is determined using the multiple channel estimates.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve positioning accuracy.
  • It can be used in location-based services, asset tracking, and navigation systems to enhance the accuracy of positioning measurements.

Problems Solved

  • Multipath channels in wireless communication can cause signal degradation and inaccuracies in positioning measurements.
  • The disclosed techniques address these problems by applying multiple PRS processing windows and determining channel estimates to improve the accuracy of positioning measurements.

Benefits

  • Improved positioning accuracy in wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced performance of location-based services, asset tracking, and navigation systems.
  • Reduction in signal degradation and inaccuracies caused by multipath channels.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) applies a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) processing windows to a PRS resource received from a network node over a multipath channel, determines a plurality of channel estimates for the PRS resource based on the plurality of PRS processing windows, and determines a positioning measurement of the PRS resource based on the plurality of channel estimates.
