VIRTUAL POSITIONING SIGNAL MEASUREMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241265 titled 'VIRTUAL POSITIONING SIGNAL MEASUREMENTS

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for providing a virtual positioning signal measurement by determining the absence of an expected positioning signal measurement from actual measurements made by a user equipment (UE) and providing a virtual measurement value based on similar actual measurements made by the UE.

The method identifies when an expected positioning signal measurement is missing from the actual measurements made by the UE.
It then generates a virtual measurement value for the missing expected positioning signal based on actual measurements of the same type made by the UE.
The virtual measurement value is derived from at least one actual positioning signal measurement that corresponds to a positioning signal measured by the UE.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in location-based services to improve accuracy and reliability of positioning signal measurements. - It can enhance the performance of navigation systems by providing virtual measurements when actual measurements are missing or inaccurate.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of missing expected positioning signal measurements in actual measurements made by a UE. - Improves the overall accuracy and reliability of positioning signal measurements in various applications.

Benefits: - Enhances the precision of location-based services and navigation systems. - Provides a solution for situations where expected positioning signal measurements are not available.

Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Positioning Signal Measurement Technology for Enhanced Location Services This technology can be utilized in industries such as transportation, logistics, and emergency services to improve location accuracy and optimize route planning. It can also benefit mobile app developers looking to enhance the performance of location-based features in their applications.

Questions about Virtual Positioning Signal Measurement Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the accuracy of location-based services? 2. What are the potential limitations of using virtual measurement values in place of actual positioning signal measurements?

Original Abstract Submitted

a method, for providing a virtual positioning signal measurement, includes: determining that an expected positioning signal measurement is absent from a plurality of actual positioning signal measurements made by a ue; and providing a virtual measurement value, for the expected positioning signal measurement, based on at least one actual positioning signal measurement that is of a same type as the expected positioning signal measurement and that corresponds to at least one positioning signal measured by the ue.
