FREQUENCY MODULATED CONTINUOUS WAVE SIGNAL-BASED POSITIONING IN NEW RADIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660945 Titled 'FREQUENCY MODULATED CONTINUOUS WAVE SIGNAL-BASED POSITIONING IN NEW RADIO'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes techniques for wireless positioning using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signals. A user equipment (UE) can inform a network entity about its capability to process FMCW signals. The network entity then provides information about transmission/reception points (TRPs) for transmitting FMCW signals for positioning measurements. The UE measures the FMCW signals transmitted by the TRPs and calculates the frequency of arrival for each signal. By comparing the frequency difference between the two signals, the UE can determine its location.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may send, to a network entity, information identifying a capability of the UE to process frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signals. The UE may receive, from a network entity, information identifying a set of transmission / reception points (TRPs) for transmitting FMCW signals for a positioning measurement, the set comprising at least a first TRP and a second TRP. The UE may measure a first FMCW signal that was transmitted by the first TRP to produce a first frequency of arrival. The UE may measure a second FMCW signal that was transmitted by the second TRP to produce a second frequency of arrival. The UE may determine a location of the UE based on a frequency difference between the first frequency of arrival and the second frequency of arrival.
