==DEVICE POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245029 titled 'DEVICE POSITIONING

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes a method and system for determining the position of a device using time delay data from serving cells and data from other cells. The system selects a constellation of base stations based on the initial position estimate to further refine the device's position.

* The patent application proposes a method for estimating the position of a device.
* The method utilizes time delay data from a serving cell and data from other cells to determine an initial position estimate.
* Based on this initial estimate, a constellation of base stations is selected from a pool of candidate constellations.
* The selected constellation is then used to calculate a more accurate position estimate for the device.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Location-based services: The accurate positioning of devices can enable a wide range of location-based services such as navigation, asset tracking, and targeted advertising.
* Emergency services: Precise device positioning can assist emergency services in locating individuals in distress or determining the location of emergency incidents.
* Network optimization: The data collected during the positioning process can be used to optimize network performance and coverage.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate device positioning: The method addresses the challenge of determining the position of a device in a cellular network by utilizing time delay data and information from multiple cells.
* Constellation selection: The system solves the problem of selecting the most suitable constellation of base stations to improve the accuracy of the position estimate.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved accuracy: By combining time delay data and information from multiple cells, the method provides a more accurate position estimate for the device.
* Flexibility: The system allows for the selection of different constellations of base stations based on the initial position estimate, providing flexibility in adapting to different network conditions.
* Efficiency: The method optimizes the use of network resources by selecting the most appropriate constellation, reducing unnecessary calculations and improving efficiency.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Device Positioning An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: determining a first position estimate for a device based, at least in part, on time delay data from a first serving cell to the device and second data relating to at least one second cell; and selecting, based on the first position estimate for the device, a first constellation of base stations, from a plurality of candidate constellations of base stations, for use in determining a second position estimate for the device.
