GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) POSITION ACQUISITION IN CONNECTED MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448073 titled 'GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) POSITION ACQUISITION IN CONNECTED MODE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to wireless communication devices, systems, and methods for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) position acquisition during a connected mode.
- Method involves transmitting a capability indication to a non-terrestrial network unit, indicating the UE can perform GNSS position acquisition during a connected mode connection.
- Receiving an indication from the network unit on whether it will support the UE in performing GNSS position acquisition during the connected mode connection.
- Performing GNSS position acquisition during the connected mode connection based on the received indication.
- Potential Applications:**
- Mobile devices with improved location accuracy. - Emergency services for precise location tracking. - Fleet management for efficient routing.
- Problems Solved:**
- Enhances GNSS position acquisition during connected mode connections. - Improves network support for GNSS capabilities of user equipment.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced location services for users. - Improved network efficiency for GNSS position acquisition. - Better support for location-based applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods related to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) position acquisition during connected mode, including associated protocols and signaling, are provided. For example, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) can include transmitting, to a non-terrestrial network unit, a capability indication, the capability indication indicating the UE is capable of performing a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) position acquisition during a connected mode connection; receiving, from the non-terrestrial network unit, an indication of whether the non-terrestrial network unit will support the UE performing the GNSS position acquisition during the connected mode connection; and performing, based at least in part on the receiving the indication, the GNSS position acquisition during the connected mode connection with the non-terrestrial network unit.
