CROSS-LINK INTERFERENCE (CLI)-AIDED HYBRID NETWORK POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114480 titled 'CROSS-LINK INTERFERENCE (CLI)-AIDED HYBRID NETWORK POSITIONING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining the position of a target mobile device in a wireless communication network using time-division duplexing (TDD) by utilizing a wireless reference signal from another mobile device with a known position. The target mobile device receives the signal during a period when it is configured to receive downlink communication, and then transmits another wireless reference signal that is received by a base station along with the signal from the other mobile device. The timing of these signals can be used to determine the location of the target mobile device.

  • Wireless reference signal used for determining the position of a target mobile device in a wireless communication network.
  • Utilizes time-division duplexing (TDD) for transmission and reception of signals.
  • Cross-link interference (CLI) is employed for transmitting the wireless reference signal from another mobile device.
  • Target mobile device receives the signal during downlink communication period.
  • Base station receives wireless reference signals from both the target mobile device and the other mobile device to determine the location of the target mobile device.

Original Abstract Submitted

a determination of a position of a target mobile device in a wireless communication network employing time-division duplexing (tdd) can use a wireless reference signal from another mobile device with a known position. the other mobile device can be configured to transmit the wireless reference signal using cross-link interference (cli), where the target mobile device receives the signal during a period in which the target mobile device is configured to receive downlink (dl) communication. the target mobile device then transmits another wireless reference signal, which is received by a base station, which also receives the wireless reference signal from the other mobile device. the timing of these various signals received at the target mobile device and base station can be used to determine the location of the mobile device.
