==Retrieval of Positioning Assistance Data based on Persistence Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17920090 titled 'Retrieval of Positioning Assistance Data based on Persistence Information

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods for a user equipment (UE) to obtain positioning assistance data associated with a cell of a wireless network. The methods involve receiving a first part of the positioning assistance data from a positioning node via unicast in the cell, and receiving a second part of the positioning assistance data via system information broadcast in the cell. The UE then determines a persistence indicator based on the second part and selectively requests an updated first part from a network node.

* The patent application focuses on methods for UEs to obtain positioning assistance data in a wireless network.
* The positioning assistance data is divided into two parts - one received via unicast and the other via system information broadcast.
* The UE determines a persistence indicator based on the second part of the positioning assistance data.
* Based on the persistence indicator, the UE selectively requests an updated first part from a network node.

== Potential Applications ==
* This technology can be applied in various location-based services that rely on accurate positioning information in a wireless network.
* It can be used in navigation applications to provide precise location data to users.
* Emergency services can benefit from this technology by accurately locating individuals in distress.

== Problems Solved ==
* The patent application addresses the challenge of obtaining accurate positioning assistance data in a wireless network.
* By dividing the data into two parts and using a persistence indicator, the methods ensure that the UE can request updated information when necessary.

== Benefits ==
* The methods described in the patent application improve the accuracy of positioning assistance data in a wireless network.
* By selectively requesting updated information, the UE can ensure it has the most recent and relevant data for positioning.
* This technology can enhance the performance of location-based services and improve user experiences.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) to obtain positioning assistance data associated with a cell of a wireless network. Such methods include receiving a first part of the positioning assistance data associated with the cell from a positioning node via unicast in the cell, and receiving a second part of the positioning assistance data associated with the cell via system information (SI) broadcast in the cell. Such methods also include, based on the second part, determining a persistence indicator associated with the first part, and based on the persistence indicator, selectively requesting an updated first part associated with the cell from a network node of the wireless network. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a positioning node as well as UEs and positioning nodes configured to perform such methods.
