REQUEST FOR ON-DEMAND POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL POSITIONING SESSION AT A FUTURE TIME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17820526 titled 'REQUEST FOR ON-DEMAND POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL POSITIONING SESSION AT A FUTURE TIME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, specifically related to on-demand positioning sessions for user equipment (UE). Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A position determination entity (PDE) receives a request to schedule an on-demand PRS (Positioning Reference Signal) positioning session for a UE at a future time.
- The request includes a set of parameters for the scheduled session, but some parameters may not be available at the time of the request.
- The PDE determines the availability of the parameters at the future time.
- The PDE also determines a PRS configuration for the scheduled session in advance of the future time.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:
- Location-based services: The ability to accurately determine the position of a UE can enhance location-based services such as navigation, asset tracking, and geofencing.
- Emergency services: On-demand positioning sessions can be useful for emergency services to quickly locate individuals in distress or during emergency situations.
- Network optimization: By understanding the positioning needs of UEs in advance, network operators can optimize their resources and improve overall network performance.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several problems in wireless communication:
- Indeterminable parameters: When scheduling on-demand positioning sessions, some parameters may not be available at the time of the request. This technology solves the problem of determining the availability of these parameters at the future time.
- Efficient resource allocation: By determining the PRS configuration in advance, the technology helps optimize the allocation of network resources, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth and minimizing interference.
- Timely positioning sessions: The ability to schedule on-demand positioning sessions in advance allows for timely and accurate location determination, which is crucial for various applications.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits:
- Improved accuracy: By determining the availability of parameters and configuring the PRS in advance, the technology helps ensure accurate positioning of UEs.
- Efficient resource utilization: By optimizing resource allocation, the technology enables efficient use of network resources, leading to improved overall network performance.
- Enhanced user experience: The ability to schedule on-demand positioning sessions in advance allows for faster response times and better user experience in location-based services.
- Flexibility: The technology allows for the scheduling of on-demand positioning sessions, providing flexibility to adapt to different user requirements and network conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position determination entity (PDE) receives a request to schedule an on-demand PRS positioning session of a UE at a future time, wherein the request is configured to request a first set of parameters for the scheduled on-demand PRS positioning session, with an availability of one or more parameters of the first set of parameters at the future time being indeterminable when the request is received. PDE determines the availability of the one or more parameters at the future time. PDE determines a PRS configuration for the scheduled on-demand PRS positioning session in advance of the future time.
