TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL FOR POSITIONING USING NON-SERVING CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462215 titled 'TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL FOR POSITIONING USING NON-SERVING CELLS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells. It focuses on a user equipment (UE) determining the transmit power for an uplink reference signal associated with a positioning procedure.

  • The UE determines that the uplink reference signal is part of a positioning procedure.
  • The positioning procedure involves transmitting the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which is farther away from the UE than the serving cell.
  • The UE identifies an absence of a parameter associated with the transmit power for the reference signal.
  • Based on this absence, the UE determines the transmit power using parameters received from the serving cell, configuration information, intercepted messages from cells other than the serving cell, or other relevant considerations.

Potential Applications

  • Positioning systems in cellular networks
  • Location-based services
  • Navigation and tracking applications
  • Emergency services and public safety

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring accurate positioning in scenarios where the non-serving cell is farther away from the UE than the serving cell
  • Determining the appropriate transmit power for the uplink reference signal in such scenarios
  • Improving the reliability and efficiency of positioning procedures

Benefits

  • Enhanced accuracy and reliability of positioning in challenging network conditions
  • Optimal transmit power control for uplink reference signals
  • Improved performance of location-based services and applications
  • Efficient utilization of network resources


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink reference signal may be associated with a positioning procedure. In some cases, the positioning procedure may include transmission, by the UE, of the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which may be farther away from the UE than a serving cell. The UE may determine an absence of a parameter associated with a transmit power for transmitting the reference signal. Based on the absence, the UE may determine the transmit power based on parameters received from a serving cell, based on configuration information, based on a message intercepted from the cell other than the serving cell, or based on other considerations or information.
