POSITIONING IN NETWORKS WITH FREQUENCY REUSE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489702 titled 'POSITIONING IN NETWORKS WITH FREQUENCY REUSE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, specifically related to inter-frequency communication gap configuration for user equipment (UE). Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A UE receives a configuration from a serving cell operating on a first frequency.
- The configuration specifies at least one period of time during which the UE is allowed to switch from the first frequency to a second frequency for a positioning operation.
- The second frequency is used by one or more neighboring cells of the serving cell.
- The UE tunes from the first frequency to the second frequency at the start of the specified period of time.
- During this period, the UE performs the positioning operation on the second frequency.
Potential Applications:
- Improved positioning accuracy in wireless communication systems.
- Efficient utilization of available frequencies for positioning operations.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing the need for inter-frequency communication gaps to enable positioning operations.
- Ensuring seamless switching between frequencies for positioning without interrupting communication.
Benefits:
- Enhanced accuracy in determining the position of a UE.
- Optimal utilization of available frequencies for positioning operations.
- Improved overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a serving cell operating on a first frequency, an inter-frequency communication gap configuration specifying at least one period of time during which the UE is permitted to tune from the first frequency to a second frequency to perform a positioning operation, wherein one or more neighboring cells of the serving cell are operating on the second frequency, tunes from the first frequency to the second frequency at a start of the at least one period of time, and performs, during the at least one period of time, the positioning operation on the second frequency.
