RADIO UNIT, DIGITAL UNIT, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18037132 titled 'RADIO UNIT, DIGITAL UNIT, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method performed by a Radio Unit (RU) in a communication system. The method involves the following steps:

  • Receiving an instruction from a Digital Unit (DU) to receive a reference signal.
  • Receiving the reference signal from a terminal device based on the instruction.
  • Transmitting a positioning signal to the DU based on the received reference signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve positioning accuracy.
  • It can be applied in location-based services, asset tracking, and navigation systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method helps in accurately determining the position of a terminal device in a communication system.
  • It addresses the challenge of obtaining reliable reference signals for positioning purposes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved positioning accuracy leads to better location-based services and navigation experiences.
  • The method enables efficient and reliable transmission of positioning signals between the RU and DU.
  • It enhances the overall performance and reliability of the communication system.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure, a method performed by a Radio Unit, RU, is provided.
