LOCATION DETERMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18254294 titled 'LOCATION DETERMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves determining the location of a User Equipment (UE) by analyzing the distances between the UE and one or more Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) service satellites at different moments, as well as the orbital locations of the satellites at those moments.

  • The method involves determining the location of a UE by measuring distances between the UE and NTN service satellites at three different moments.
  • The orbital locations of the NTN service satellites are different at the three moments, belonging to at least two different satellite orbits.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Location-based services
  • Navigation systems
  • Emergency response systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Accurately determining the location of a UE
  • Improving location-based services
  • Enhancing navigation accuracy

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced location accuracy
  • Improved navigation systems
  • Better emergency response capabilities

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially applied in:

  • GPS devices
  • Mobile phones
  • Vehicle tracking systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of GPS technology for determining location, but this method involving NTN service satellites at different orbital locations provides a unique approach to location determination.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method compare to traditional GPS technology for location determination?

This article does not provide a direct comparison between this method and traditional GPS technology in terms of accuracy, reliability, or cost-effectiveness.

What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this method on a large scale?

The article does not address the scalability or practical challenges of implementing this method on a larger scale, such as integrating it into existing infrastructure or ensuring compatibility with different devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for determining a location, includes: determining location information of a User Equipment (UE) based on distances between the UE and one or more Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) service satellites of the UE at at least three different moments and location information of the one or more NTN service satellites of the UE at the at least three different moments, wherein orbital locations of the one or more NTN service satellites of the UE are different at the at least three different moments, and the orbital locations of the one or more NTN service satellites of the UE belong to at least two different satellite orbits.
