POSITIONING ASSISTANCE DATA DELIVERY FOR REDUCED SIGNALING OVERHEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263259 titled 'POSITIONING ASSISTANCE DATA DELIVERY FOR REDUCED SIGNALING OVERHEAD
Simplified Explanation
Techniques for positioning assistance data (AD) delivery for reduced signaling overhead may comprise determining a combined positioning AD for a requesting user equipment (UE) based at least in part on the area ID in which the requesting UE is located. The combined positioning AD may include positioning AD for the first area and one or more additional areas. For each of the areas, the positioning AD may comprise information regarding Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) resources, Base Station Almanac (BSA) information, or both, to be used for positioning the requesting UE within the respective area. The first area and the one or more additional areas may comprise cells of the wireless communication network or sidelink (SL) group zones.

- Fleet tracking and management
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Reducing signaling overhead in delivering positioning assistance data
- Improving accuracy in positioning the requesting UE
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced efficiency in delivering positioning assistance data
- Better user experience with location-based services
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology has potential commercial applications in:
- Telecommunications industry
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Navigation and mapping services
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of cell ID information for positioning assistance data delivery in wireless communication networks.
What are the specific techniques used for determining the combined positioning AD for a requesting UE based on the area ID?
The specific techniques used for determining the combined positioning AD include analyzing the area ID of the requesting UE and selecting the appropriate positioning AD for the first area and additional areas based on this information.
How does this technology contribute to reducing signaling overhead in delivering positioning assistance data?
This technology reduces signaling overhead by providing the necessary positioning information for multiple areas in a combined positioning AD, eliminating the need for separate signaling for each area.
