DETERMINING A USER EQUIPMENT POSITION WITHIN A COVERAGE SUB-AREA OF A CELL BASED ON CELL IDENTITY DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355162 titled 'DETERMINING A USER EQUIPMENT POSITION WITHIN A COVERAGE SUB-AREA OF A CELL BASED ON CELL IDENTITY DATA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for determining the position of a user equipment (UE) within a specific area of a cell based on cell identity data.

  • UE detects cell identities, including the serving cell and possibly a neighbor cell.
  • Cell identity data is used to look up a data structure that associates coverage sub-areas of the serving cell with likely positions and cell identities.
  • The result of the look up determines the most likely position of the UE within a coverage sub-area of the serving cell.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining a UE position within a coverage sub-area of a cell based on cell identity data are presented. In some embodiments, the UE detects one more cell identities, including a cell identity of a serving cell and possibly a cell identity of a neighbor cell of the serving cell. The one or more cell identities are included in cell identity data. The cell identity data is used in a look up of a data structure that associates coverage sub-areas of a coverage area of the serving cell with most likely positions within the coverage sub-areas and with cell identities. The result of the look up indicates that the UE is positioned at a most likely position within a coverage sub-area of the serving cell.
