SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING OF MULTIPLE POSITIONING FREQUENCY LAYERS IN NR BY A UE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18005327 Titled 'SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING OF MULTIPLE POSITIONING FREQUENCY LAYERS IN NR BY A UE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) to measure Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) during a specific time period. The UE can receive PRS resources from multiple Positioning Frequency Layers (PFLs) by adjusting its RF circuitry. After receiving the PRS resources, the UE can calculate PRS measurements based on the received resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

A measurement period in which a User Equipment (UE) can be configured to take Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) measurements may include receiving PRS resources of a plurality of Positioning Frequency Layers (PFLs). To do so, the UE may tune (RF) circuitry of the UE from an active Bandwidth Part (BWP) to a frequency band of the at least one PFL, receive a plurality of PRS resources of a plurality of PFLs from one or more network nodes, and subsequent to receiving the plurality of PRS resources, re-tune the RF circuitry of the UE to the active BWP. The UE can then determine PRS measurements based on the plurality of PRS resources.
