APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NETWORK VERIFIED USER EQUIPMENT LOCATION FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347991 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NETWORK VERIFIED USER EQUIPMENT LOCATION FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for verifying reported measurements for the location of a User Equipment (UE) in a network. The method involves configuring a base station and the UE with specific resources for transmitting and receiving signals at different times. The network device receives values for different time intervals from both the base station and the UE. Based on these received values, the network device verifies the reported measurements for the UE's location.

  • The system and method aim to verify the accuracy of reported measurements for UE location in a network.
  • The base station and UE are configured with specific resources for transmitting and receiving signals at different times.
  • The network device receives values for different time intervals from both the base station and the UE.
  • The received values are used to verify the reported measurements for the UE's location.

Potential Applications:

  • Location-based services: The technology can be used to ensure the accuracy of location information provided by UEs, which is crucial for various location-based services such as navigation, emergency response, and asset tracking.
  • Network optimization: By verifying the reported measurements, the network can identify and address any discrepancies or errors in UE location information, leading to improved network optimization and resource allocation.

Problems Solved:

  • Inaccurate location information: The technology addresses the problem of inaccurate or unreliable location information reported by UEs, which can lead to incorrect service delivery or inefficient network operations.
  • Verification challenges: Verifying the accuracy of reported measurements for UE location can be challenging due to various factors such as signal interference, synchronization issues, or measurement errors. This technology provides a method to overcome these challenges.

Benefits:

  • Improved service quality: By verifying the reported measurements, the technology ensures more accurate location information, leading to improved service quality for location-based services.
  • Enhanced network efficiency: By identifying and addressing discrepancies in UE location information, the technology helps optimize network operations and resource allocation, resulting in enhanced network efficiency.
  • Reliable emergency response: Accurate UE location information is crucial for emergency response services. This technology helps ensure the reliability of such information, enabling faster and more effective emergency response.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system and a method are disclosed for verifying reported measurements for UE location. A method of network verified UE location includes configuring, by a network device, a base station with a first resource for transmitting a PRS to a UE at a time t1; configuring, by the network device, the UE with a second resource for transmitting an SRS to the base station at a time t3; receiving, by the network device, from the base station, a value for t1 and a value for t4, wherein the base station is configured to receive the SRS from the UE at a time t4; receiving, by the network device, from the UE, a value for t2 and a value for t3, wherein the UE is configured to receive the PRS from the base station at a time t2; and verifying, by the network device, the values for t2 and t3 received from the UE, based the received values for t1, t2, t3, and t4.
