METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATION OF A USER EQUIPMENT ACCESSING A MOBILE BASE STATION RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18312363 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATION OF A USER EQUIPMENT ACCESSING A MOBILE BASE STATION RELAY
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes techniques for supporting the positioning of a target user equipment (UE) that accesses a wireless network through a mobile base station relay (MBSR). - The MBSR acts as an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node, connecting to the wireless network through a donor base station. - The MBSR receives a request for positioning information from a location server, which is related to determining the location of the target UE. - To determine the positioning information, the MBSR performs positioning functions typically carried out by a base station. - Once the positioning information is determined, the MBSR sends it back to the location server through the donor base station. - The received positioning information enables the location server to determine the location of the target UE. - The location server uses the positioning information received from the MBSR to calculate the target UE's location.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are disclosed for supporting positioning of a target user equipment (UE) that accesses a wireless network via a mobile base station relay (MBSR). The MBSR functions as an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node accessing the wireless network via a donor base station. The MBSR receives a request for positioning information from a location server via the donor base station related to positioning of the target UE. After determining the positioning information by performing positioning functions of a base station, the MBSR returns the positioning information to the location server via the donor base station, where the positioning information enables positioning of the UE. The location server determines a location of the target UE based at least partially on the positioning information received from the MBSR.
