CONFIGURATION DETAILS FOR AUTONOMOUS GAPS FOR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18572523 titled 'CONFIGURATION DETAILS FOR AUTONOMOUS GAPS FOR POSITIONING
The patent application describes techniques for wireless positioning using positioning reference signal (PRS) resources during autonomous gaps scheduled within an autonomous gap window.
- User equipment (UE) obtains positioning measurements of PRS resources during autonomous gaps defined by configuration parameters.
- During autonomous gaps, the UE prioritizes PRS reception and processing over other downlink signals.
- The UE reports the positioning measurements to a positioning entity to determine the UE's location.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced location tracking for mobile devices - Improved accuracy in indoor positioning systems - Enhanced emergency services location detection
Problems Solved: - Addressing the challenge of accurate positioning in dense urban environments - Improving location accuracy in areas with limited GPS signal coverage
Benefits: - Increased precision in determining user location - Enhanced reliability of location-based services - Improved emergency response times
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Wireless Positioning Technology for Enhanced Location Services" This technology can be utilized in industries such as: - Telecommunications for improved network optimization - Transportation for precise vehicle tracking - Healthcare for accurate patient monitoring systems
Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior patents related to wireless positioning and autonomous gap scheduling in wireless communication systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in wireless positioning technologies and autonomous gap management in 5G and beyond.

Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) obtains one or more positioning measurements of one or more positioning reference signal (PRS) resources during one or more autonomous gaps scheduled within an autonomous gap window, the autonomous gap window, the one or more autonomous gaps, or both defined by one or more autonomous gap configuration parameters, wherein each of the one or more autonomous gaps comprises a period of time during which the UE at least prioritizes PRS reception and processing over reception, processing, or both of other downlink signals and channels, and reports the one or more positioning measurements to a positioning entity to enable the positioning entity to determine a location of the UE.
