METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIDELINK POSITIONING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17873069 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIDELINK POSITIONING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication system that supports a higher data transmission rate than 4G systems, such as LTE. It focuses on a method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system that supports sidelink.
- The method involves the first terminal receiving location information and reliability information from at least one second terminal.
- The location information pertains to the second terminal's location, while the reliability information indicates the trustworthiness of the location information.
- Based on the reliability information, the first terminal selects at least one second terminal to be used for measuring its own location.
- The first terminal then determines its own location using the location information of the selected second terminal(s).
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhanced location-based services: The system can be used to provide more accurate location information for various applications, such as navigation, asset tracking, and emergency services.
- Improved network optimization: By accurately determining the location of terminals, the system can optimize network resources and improve overall network performance.
- Efficient resource allocation: The system can allocate resources more efficiently by selecting terminals with reliable location information, leading to better utilization of network resources.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inaccurate location information: The system addresses the issue of unreliable or inaccurate location information by considering the reliability of the location data provided by second terminals.
- Resource wastage: By selecting terminals with reliable location information, the system avoids wasting network resources on terminals that may provide unreliable data.
- Limited data transmission rate: The system overcomes the limitations of 4G systems by supporting a higher data transmission rate, enabling faster and more efficient communication.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy: By selecting terminals with reliable location information, the system can provide more accurate location data, enhancing the performance of location-based services.
- Enhanced network efficiency: The system optimizes resource allocation and improves network performance by accurately determining terminal locations.
- Faster data transmission: Supporting a higher data transmission rate than 4G systems, the technology enables faster and more efficient communication between terminals.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system supporting sidelink is provided. The method comprises receiving from at least one second terminal location information of the second terminal and reliability information for the location information of the second terminal, selecting at least one second terminal to be used for location measurement of the first terminal based on the reliability information, and determining a location of the first terminal based location information of at least one second terminal selected based on the reliability information.
