METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HEIGHT-BASED LOCATION UPDATE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933226 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HEIGHT-BASED LOCATION UPDATE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for updating the location of a wireless device based on its height in a wireless communication system.

  • The wireless device receives information about specific height thresholds within a range of heights.
  • The wireless device continuously monitors its own height.
  • If the height of the wireless device surpasses any of the specified thresholds, it triggers a tracking area update procedure.
  • The tracking area update procedure ensures that the wireless device's location information is accurately updated in the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for height-based location update in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device receives information on one or more threshold heights between a plurality of height spans. A wireless device monitors a height of the wireless device. A wireless device initiates a tracking area update procedure based on the height of the wireless device being passed the one or more threshold heights.
