UPLINK-BASED POSITIONING VIA A REPEATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183121 titled 'UPLINK-BASED POSITIONING VIA A REPEATER

The abstract describes apparatuses and methods for UL-based positioning via a repeater in a wireless communication system.

Apparatuses are configured to obtain a SRS configuration for a UE, including positioning information.
The apparatuses perform positioning measurements based on UL transmissions from the UE and the positioning information.
They transmit indications of the positioning measurements to network nodes.
Another apparatus receives a set of SRSs from a UE and obtains E2E measurements associated with communications for the UE based on these SRSs.
It then transmits measurement information, including the E2E measurements, to network entities.

Potential Applications: - Enhanced positioning capabilities in wireless communication systems. - Improved accuracy in determining the location of user equipment. - Enhanced network optimization and resource allocation based on positioning data.

Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for precise positioning information in wireless networks. - Improving the efficiency of location-based services. - Enhancing overall network performance through better positioning measurements.

Benefits: - Increased accuracy in determining the location of user equipment. - Enhanced network efficiency and resource management. - Improved user experience with location-based services.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Positioning Technology for Wireless Networks This technology could be utilized in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and location-based services. It can improve the accuracy of location tracking for devices, enhance network optimization, and enable new applications that rely on precise positioning data.

Questions about UL-based positioning via a repeater: 1. How does UL-based positioning via a repeater improve location accuracy in wireless communication systems? UL-based positioning via a repeater enhances location accuracy by utilizing positioning measurements based on UL transmissions from user equipment and transmitting this information to network nodes for improved positioning capabilities.

2. What are the key benefits of using repeaters for UL-based positioning in wireless networks? Repeating UL transmissions allows for more accurate positioning measurements, leading to enhanced location tracking, improved network optimization, and better resource allocation in wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses and methods for UL-based positioning via a repeater are described. An apparatus is configured to obtain a SRS configuration for a UE. The SRS configuration includes information associated with positioning of the UE. The apparatus is configured to perform a positioning measurement(s) based on an UL transmission from the UE and the information associated with the positioning of the UE. The apparatus is configured to transmit, for a network node, an indication of the at least one positioning measurement. Another apparatus is configured to receive, from a UE via a wireless device, a set of SRSs. The apparatus is configured to obtain, based on the set of SRSs, an indication of an E2E measurement(s) associated with communications for the UE. The apparatus is configured to transmit, for a network entity, measurement information that includes the E2E measurement(s) associated with the communications for the UE.
