METHODS OF LATENCY REDUCTION FOR POSITIONING-SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18248911 titled 'METHODS OF LATENCY REDUCTION FOR POSITIONING-SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT REPORTING

Simplified Explanation

- This patent application describes a method to reduce latency in reporting measurements for positioning in a mobile communication network. - When a User Equipment (UE) receives a location information request from the network, it performs first measurements on Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs) and obtains first measurement results. - The UE then uses a configured grant to transmit a first measurement report to the network, including the first measurement results. - In response to the same location information request, the UE performs second measurements on PRSs and obtains second measurement results. - The UE uses the same configured grant to transmit a second measurement report to the network, including the second measurement results. - Importantly, this method avoids triggering a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure or a Buffer Status Report (BSR) procedure, which helps in reducing latency. - The innovation allows for faster and more efficient reporting of measurement results for positioning in a mobile communication network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of latency reduction for positioning-specific measurement reporting is provided. A User Equipment (UE) performs first measurements on Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs) to obtain first measurement results in response to receiving a location information request from a mobile communication network. The UE uses a first configured grant to transmit a first measurement report including the first measurement results to the mobile communication network. The UE performs second measurements on PRSs to obtain second measurement results in response to the same location information request. The UE uses the first configured grant to transmit a second measurement report including the second measurement results to the mobile communication network, without triggering a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure or a Buffer Status Report (BSR) procedure.
