MANAGEMENT OF POSITION REFERENCE SIGNALS AND MEASUREMENT GAPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17930984 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF POSITION REFERENCE SIGNALS AND MEASUREMENT GAPS

Simplified Explanation

In a patent application, a user equipment (UE) can receive position reference signals (PRSs) during a PRS occasion, even if the PRS occasion does not overlap with a specific time period. The UE can measure the PRSs based on various resources or time periods, such as measurement gap resources, positioning processing windows (PPWs), or overlapping time periods.

• User equipment (UE) can obtain a first indication of a measurement gap resource associated with a specific time period.
• During a PRS occasion, the UE can receive a set of position reference signals (PRSs).
• The UE can measure the PRSs based on the first measurement gap resource, a second measurement gap resource associated with an overlapping time period, or a positioning processing window (PPW) associated with another time period.
• The PRS occasion may not align with the specific time period, allowing flexibility in signal measurement.

Potential Applications

• Improved accuracy in positioning systems.
• Enhanced signal measurement capabilities for user equipment.

Problems Solved

• Overcoming limitations in signal measurement during specific time periods.
• Providing flexibility in signal measurement for user equipment.

Benefits

• Increased precision in signal measurement.
• Enhanced performance of positioning systems.
• Improved reliability of user equipment in receiving and measuring signals.

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) may obtain a first indication of a first measurement gap resource associated with a first time period. The UE may receive a set of position reference signals (PRSs) during a PRS occasion. A first portion of the PRS occasion may not overlap with any portion of the first time period. The UE may measure the set of PRSs at the first portion of the PRS occasion based on at least one of (i) the first measurement gap resource associated with the first time period, (ii) a second measurement gap resource associated with a second time period that overlaps with the first portion of the PRS occasion, or (iii) a positioning processing window (PPW) associated with a third time period that overlaps with the first portion of the PRS occasion.
