FFT WINDOW ADJUSTMENT BASED ON PRS PEAK PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18252033 titled 'FFT WINDOW ADJUSTMENT BASED ON PRS PEAK PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless network. The UE determines a first reference signal time difference value and estimates the RSTD (Reference Signal Time Difference) along with its uncertainty. It identifies a search interval based on the estimated RSTD value and uncertainty. During this search interval, the UE receives wireless signals and determines a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) window offset for decoding a positioning reference signal (PRS). The first RSTD value is then determined based on the FFT window offset.

  • The patent application is related to user equipment (UE) in a wireless network.
  • The UE determines a reference signal time difference value.
  • The UE estimates the RSTD value and its uncertainty.
  • A search interval is identified based on the estimated RSTD value and uncertainty.
  • The UE receives wireless signals during the search interval.
  • The UE determines a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) window offset for decoding a positioning reference signal (PRS).
  • The first RSTD value is determined based on the FFT window offset.

  • Better optimization of wireless network resources


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless network determines a first reference signal time difference value. The UE determines a first RSTD estimate and a first RSTD uncertainty associated with the first RSTD value, identifies a search interval for the first RSTD value, the search interval extending from a difference between the first RSTD estimate and the first RSTD uncertainty to a sum of the first RSTD estimate and the first RSTD uncertainty, receives wireless signals during the identified search interval, determines a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) window offset for decoding a first positioning reference signal (PRS) received during the identified search interval, and determines the first RSTD value based at least in part on the determined FFT window offset.
