USER EQUIPMENT (UE) HANDLING OF DELAYED SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL (SRS) CONFIGURATION FOR DOWNLINK-AND-UPLINK-BASED POSITIONING METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17814973 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT (UE) HANDLING OF DELAYED SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL (SRS) CONFIGURATION FOR DOWNLINK-AND-UPLINK-BASED POSITIONING METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, specifically for positioning sessions between a user equipment (UE) and a location server. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The UE receives a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration from a location server.
- If the UE has not received a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration from its serving base station, it waits for the SRS configuration until a timer expires.
- After the timer expires, the UE determines whether it has received the SRS configuration.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems that require accurate positioning of user equipment.
- Location-based services that rely on precise positioning information.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that the UE has the necessary configuration for a downlink-and-uplink-based positioning session.
- Avoids delays in the positioning session caused by missing SRS configuration.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy and reliability of positioning sessions.
- Efficient utilization of wireless resources by waiting for the SRS configuration before proceeding with the positioning session.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a location server, a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration for a downlink-and-uplink-based positioning session between the UE and the location server, waits, based on a determination that a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration for the downlink-and-uplink-based positioning session has not been received from a serving base station of the UE, for reception of the SRS configuration from the serving base station until expiration of a timer, and determines, based on the expiration of the timer, whether the SRS configuration was received.
