SIGNALING AND PROCEDURES FOR SUPPORTING POSITIONING REFERENCE UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18312569 titled 'SIGNALING AND PROCEDURES FOR SUPPORTING POSITIONING REFERENCE UNITS

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes techniques for supporting positioning. - A positioning reference unit (PRU) sends an association request to a location server. - The location server authenticates the PRU and sends an association accept if authenticated, or rejects the association if not authenticated. - The association accept may include an identifier for the location server and/or identifiers for additional location servers for the PRU to associate with. - The location server can also send a disassociation request to indicate that the PRU is no longer associated and provide an identifier for another location server for the PRU to associate with.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for supporting positioning. In an aspect, a positioning reference unit (PRU) sends and a location server receives an association request for the PRU. The location server authenticates the PRU and sends to the PRU an association accept indicating an acceptance of association and conditions for performing another association with the location server if the PRU is authenticated, or indicates a rejection of the association if the PRU is not authenticated. The association accept may include an identifier for the location server for the PRU for updating the association with the location server and/or identifiers for one or more additional location servers with which the PRU is to perform separate association. The location server may send to the PRU a disassociation request indicating the PRU is no longer associated and optionally an identifier for another location server with which the PRU should associate.
