IMPULSE RADIO ULTRA-WIDEBAND (IR-UWB) USING LONG-TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) POSITIONING PROTOCOL (LPP) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098677 titled 'IMPULSE RADIO ULTRA-WIDEBAND (IR-UWB) USING LONG-TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) POSITIONING PROTOCOL (LPP)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication involving an LTE positioning protocol (LPP) capabilities message and an IR-UWB ranging procedure.

  • User equipment (UE) transmits an LPP capabilities message to a network entity, indicating its capabilities for engaging in a positioning session with at least one network node.
  • The UE receives an LPP assistance data message from the network entity, configuring the UE to perform at least the IR-UWB ranging procedure.
  • The UE then performs the IR-UWB ranging procedure based on the assistance parameters received.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Location-based services
  • Asset tracking
  • Indoor navigation systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Improving positioning accuracy
  • Enhancing wireless communication efficiency

Benefits
