MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR POSITIONING PROCEDURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485095 titled 'MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR POSITIONING PROCEDURES
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a mechanism for dynamically adapting the accuracy of a positioning procedure based on the current requirements of client devices and environmental conditions. This mechanism allows for switching between different configurations of the positioning procedure.
- The mechanism enables switching between different configurations for a positioning procedure.
- The switching can be initiated by a network node.
- The network node can instruct a client device to deactivate positioning according to a first configuration and activate positioning according to a second configuration.
- The second configuration can be determined by the network node based on factors such as the position of the client device, density of client devices, current position requirements per client device, network load, and available resources.
- This mechanism allows for the adaptation of the positioning procedure based on dynamic requirements.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Location-based services: The ability to dynamically adapt the accuracy of positioning procedures can enhance location-based services such as navigation, asset tracking, and geofencing.
- Emergency services: By adjusting the accuracy of positioning procedures based on the current requirements, emergency services can more effectively locate and assist individuals in need.
- Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices often require different levels of positioning accuracy depending on their use case. This technology can enable IoT devices to dynamically adapt their positioning procedures to conserve power and resources.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient use of resources: By dynamically adapting the accuracy of positioning procedures, resources such as battery power and network bandwidth can be optimized based on the current requirements.
- Inaccurate positioning: Different environments and client device requirements may necessitate different levels of positioning accuracy. This technology solves the problem of providing accurate positioning based on dynamic requirements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: By adapting the positioning procedure to the current requirements, users can benefit from more accurate and reliable positioning information.
- Resource optimization: The ability to dynamically adjust the positioning procedure can optimize the use of resources such as battery power and network bandwidth.
- Scalability: This technology allows for the adaptation of positioning procedures based on factors such as network load and available resources, enabling scalability in various environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a mechanism enabling switching between different configuration for a positioning procedure to dynamically adapt the accuracy of the positioning procedure to the current requirements of client devices and/or environmental conditions. The switch may be initiated by a network node which can instruct a client device to deactivate positioning according to a first configuration and to activate positioning according to a second configuration. The network node can determine the second configuration based on e.g. position of client device, density of client devices, current position requirements per client device, network load, and/or available resources. Thereby, allowing the configuration for the positioning procedure to be adapted based on dynamic requirements on the positioning procedure.
