ANCHOR USER EQUIPMENT SELECTION FOR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118370 titled 'ANCHOR USER EQUIPMENT SELECTION FOR POSITIONING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application focuses on selecting anchor UEs for positioning based on various metrics such as measurement quality, mobility status, and GDOP.

  • Anchor UEs may impact the accuracy of positioning estimates for target UEs.
  • Candidate anchor UEs can be selected or excluded based on measurement quality, mobility status, and GDOP.
  • Mobility status of candidate anchor UEs can be derived from reported positions or obtained directly.
  • Selected anchor UEs are used for positioning target UEs, while downselected UEs are excluded from positioning.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Location-based services
  • Asset tracking systems
  • Emergency response systems

Problems Solved

  • Improving accuracy of positioning estimates
  • Enhancing reliability of location-based services

Benefits

  • Increased precision in determining the location of target UEs
  • Better utilization of anchor UEs for positioning

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Anchor UE Selection for Enhanced Positioning Accuracy

Possible Prior Art

No prior art information available.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life of UEs?

The patent application does not address the potential impact on battery life of UEs due to the selection process and positioning calculations.

What are the potential privacy implications of using anchor UEs for positioning?

The patent application does not discuss the privacy concerns that may arise from using anchor UEs for positioning target UEs.


Original Abstract Submitted

an anchor ue may move or have a low transmission power and impact the accuracy of positioning estimates of a target ue based on measurements of the prss associated with the anchor ue. one or more candidate anchor ues may be selected or excluded from being used for positioning based on one or more of a measurement quality metric of a position measurement of a candidate anchor ue, a mobility status of the candidate anchor ue, or a gdop associated with the candidate anchor ue. a mobility status of the candidate anchor ue may be derived from reported positions of the candidate anchor ue or obtained from the candidate anchor ue. a ue selected as an anchor ue is used for positioning of a target ue, and a ue downselected from being an anchor ue is excluded from use for positioning of the target ue.
