Wireless Device Positioning Capability in a Wireless Communication Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031375 titled 'Wireless Device Positioning Capability in a Wireless Communication Network

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a network node in a wireless communication network that can store and retrieve positioning capabilities of a wireless device. This allows the network node to respond quickly to positioning requests from the wireless device.

  • The network node receives and stores the positioning capabilities of a wireless device.
  • When a positioning request is received, the network node retrieves the stored positioning capabilities.
  • The network node sends a message to a positioning server in the network, including the positioning request and retrieved positioning capabilities.
  • This proactive approach allows the network node to respond to positioning requests more efficiently.


Original Abstract Submitted

A network node () is configured for use in a wireless communication network (). The network node () receives one or more positioning capabilities () of a wireless device (), and stores the one or more positioning capabilities () in storage () that is at or accessible to the network node (). After storing the one or more positioning capabilities () of the wireless device (), the network node () receives a positioning request () for the wireless device (). Responsive to receiving the positioning request (), the network node () retrieves the one or more positioning capabilities () of the wireless device () from the storage (), and sends, to a positioning server () in the wireless communication network (), a message that comprises the positioning request () and that includes the one or more positioning capabilities () retrieved from the storage (). The wireless device operates thus proactively, by rendering available the wireless device positioning capability at the network node before the positioning request is received and allowing the network node to reply in a reduced time.
