TEMPORAL AND FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT TIMING ERROR GROUPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183928 titled 'TEMPORAL AND FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT TIMING ERROR GROUPS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining timing error groups in a communications network, specifically related to positioning related reference signals.

The method involves determining potential margins from a predetermined plurality of potential margins, each representing a potential maximum margin of timing error difference between two measurements based on positioning related reference signals.
An indication of the potential margin is transmitted to the network node, and a margin is determined from the potential margins to perform an action.
The method further includes determining a timing error group associated with the action based on the margin.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

Telecommunications networks
GPS systems
Autonomous vehicles

Problems Solved

Improving accuracy in timing error measurements
Enhancing network performance and reliability

Benefits

Increased precision in timing error determination
Optimization of network operations
Enhanced overall system efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications
