SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPLINK HIGH EFFICIENCY LOCATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18321661 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UPLINK HIGH EFFICIENCY LOCATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for efficiently locating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network.

  • The UE is periodically or triggered by a location server (LS) to initiate location tracking.
  • The UE enters an idle state and monitors for triggering events.
  • When an event is detected, the UE sends an uplink positioning signal (UPS) to a base station.
  • The UPS contains data such as UE ID, LS ID, authentication code (AC), and location measurements.
  • The UPS transmission occurs in an uplink positioning occasion shared with other UEs.
  • The base station receives the UPS, obtains additional location measurements, and transfers the UPS data and measurements to the LS.
  • The LS authenticates the UE ID using the AC and determines the UE's location using the location measurements.
  • The LS then transfers the location information to an external client.


Original Abstract Submitted

Uplink high efficiency location of a user equipment (UE) includes initiating periodic or triggered location in the UE by a location server (LS) in a wireless network. The UE enters an idle state and monitors for triggering events. After detecting an event, the UE transmits an uplink positioning signal (UPS) to a base station, where the UPS encodes UPS data comprising a UE ID, an ID for the LS, an authentication code (AC) and location measurements. UPS transmission occurs in an uplink positioning occasion shared with other UEs. The location measurements may be ciphered but other UPS data is unciphered. The base station obtains additional location measurements and transfers the UPS data and the location measurements to the LS. The LS authenticates the UE ID using the AC, determines the UE location using the location measurements and transfers the location to an external client.
