METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MEASUREMENT PERIOD FORMULATION FOR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18262549 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MEASUREMENT PERIOD FORMULATION FOR POSITIONING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless positioning using positioning reference signal (PRS) resources on a first positioning frequency layer.
- User equipment (UE) receives a request location information message from the network entity, which includes start measurement time parameters for a measurement period.
- UE performs positioning measurements on PRS resources during the measurement period based on the start time and reception time.
- The start of the measurement period is determined by the PRS resources and start measurement time parameters.
Potential Applications
- Enhanced location-based services
- Improved indoor positioning accuracy
- Efficient resource allocation in wireless networks
Problems Solved
- Inaccurate positioning in dense urban environments
- Limited coverage and reliability of GPS signals indoors
- Resource wastage in positioning measurements
Benefits
- Increased positioning accuracy
- Better user experience for location-based services
- Optimal resource utilization in wireless networks
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a request location information message from the network entity, the request location information message including one or more start measurement time parameters indicating a start time of a measurement period during which the UE is expected to perform one or more positioning measurements, and performs the one or more positioning measurements of one or more positioning reference signal (PRS) resources on a first positioning frequency layer during the measurement period, wherein a start of the measurement period is based on the one or more PRS resources, a reception time, and the one or more start measurement time parameters.
