SIDELINK-AIDED HYBRID NETWORK POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18030361 Titled 'SIDELINK-AIDED HYBRID NETWORK POSITIONING'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract discusses techniques for accurately determining the position of a light user equipment (UE) using only one base station. This is achieved by utilizing communication with a premium UE that has a known location relative to the base station. By measuring wireless reference signals from both the light UE and premium UE, as well as a reference signal from the light UE to the premium UE, the position of the light UE can be determined using geometric calculations. This determination can be performed by the light UE, premium UE, or a location server, depending on the desired functionality.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for a high-accuracy determination the position of a light user equipment (UE) using a single base station are presented. This is accomplished by leveraging communications with a premium UE having a known location relative to the base station. Wireless reference signals measured by the light UE and premium UE, along with a reference signal from the light UE to the premium UE, can be used to determine the position of the light UE geometrically. The determination can be made by the light UE, premium UE, or a location server, depending on desired functionality.
