TERRESTRIAL POSITIONING FOR UNKNOWN CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349092 titled 'TERRESTRIAL POSITIONING FOR UNKNOWN CELLS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to methods and devices for wireless communication, specifically in detecting and identifying the location of cells associated with a network node. The application also describes estimating the average location of the set of cells and calculating the location of the network node based on this average location.

  • The apparatus detects a set of cells associated with a network node.
  • Each cell in the set of cells has a cell ID associated with a node ID for the network node.
  • The apparatus identifies the location of each cell based on its cell ID.
  • The apparatus estimates the average location of the set of cells.
  • The apparatus calculates the location of the network node based on the average location of the set of cells.

Potential Applications:

  • Improved wireless communication network planning and optimization.
  • Enhanced location-based services and applications.
  • Efficient network node deployment and management.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty in accurately detecting and identifying the location of cells in a wireless communication network.
  • Inefficient network planning and optimization due to lack of precise cell location information.
  • Limited accuracy in location-based services and applications.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy in detecting and identifying cell locations.
  • Enhanced network planning and optimization for better performance.
  • More precise location-based services and applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a device or a server. The apparatus may detect a set of cells associated with a network node, where each of the set of cells includes a cell ID, where the cell ID for each of the set of cells is associated with a node ID for the network node. The apparatus may also identify a location of each of the set of cells based on the cell ID for each of the set of cells. Additionally, the apparatus may estimate an average location of the set of cells based on the location of each of the set of cells. The apparatus may also calculate a location of the network node based on the average location of the set of cells.
