POSITIONING REFERENCE UNIT INFORMATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240276420 titled 'POSITIONING REFERENCE UNIT INFORMATION NETWORKS

The abstract describes a wireless device that can receive positioning signals from various sources, measure them, and transmit reports to network nodes with assistance information.

The wireless device receives positioning signals from a user equipment, network nodes, or a positioning reference unit.
It measures the positioning signals and generates a report with positioning measurements and assistance information.
The device may include a positioning reference unit (PRU) that has a known and fixed location while receiving the signals.
The positioning signals may consist of positioning reference signals (PRS) or sounding reference signals (SRS).

Potential Applications: - Location-based services - Navigation systems - Asset tracking

Problems Solved: - Improved accuracy in determining the device's location - Enhanced network node assistance for positioning

Benefits: - Better user experience with location-based services - Increased efficiency in asset tracking - Enhanced network performance with improved positioning assistance
