Frequency Hopped PRSs for Location Estimation of Reduced Capacity Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885424 titled 'Frequency Hopped PRSs for Location Estimation of Reduced Capacity Devices
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for positioning reference signals (PRSs) for reduced capacity devices in 5G NR systems and beyond.
- A UE receives a first repetition of a frequency hopping PRS in a subset of the full bandwidth used for full bandwidth PRSs.
- The UE switches to a second frequency bandwidth that overlaps with the first frequency bandwidth, receiving a second repetition of the FH PRS in the second frequency bandwidth.

Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for positioning reference signals (PRSs) for reduced capacity devices, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may be configured to receive, from a network (e.g., from a base station and/or an LMF), a first repetition of a frequency hopping (FH) PRS in a first frequency bandwidth. The first frequency bandwidth may be a subset of a full bandwidth used for full bandwidth PRSs. The UE may be configured to switch to a second frequency bandwidth that may be overlapped with the first frequency bandwidth. The second frequency bandwidth may be a subset of the full bandwidth. Additionally, the UE may be configured to receive a second repetition of the FH PRS in the second frequency bandwidth.
