POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17799447 titled 'POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a user equipment that can process positioning reference signal (PRS) groups to determine position information. The equipment includes an interface, memory, and a processor.

  • The user equipment receives multiple requests to process different PRS groups, each with its own characteristics.
  • It determines the priority for processing the PRS groups based on certain criteria.
  • The equipment checks if the total amount of PRS characteristics exceeds the processing capability of the processor.
  • If the processing capability is exceeded, the equipment selects a subset of PRS groups based on their priority for processing.
  • Finally, the selected subset of PRS groups is processed to determine position information.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various positioning systems, such as GPS or indoor positioning systems.
  • It can be applied in mobile devices, vehicles, or any other equipment that requires accurate position information.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the issue of limited processing capability when dealing with multiple PRS groups.
  • It solves the problem of prioritizing PRS groups for processing when the processing capability is exceeded.

Benefits

  • The user equipment can efficiently process PRS groups by selecting a subset based on priority, ensuring accurate position information.
  • It optimizes the use of processing resources, preventing overload and improving overall performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment includes: an interface; a memory; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the interface and the memory, configured to: receive a plurality of requests to process a corresponding plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) groups, each of the plurality of PRS groups having respective PRS characteristics; determine a priority for processing the plurality of PRS groups according to at least one priority criterion; determine whether a total amount of the PRS characteristics of the plurality of PRS groups exceeds a PRS processing capability of the processor; select, in response to the total amount of the PRS characteristics exceeding the PRS processing capability of the processor, a subset of the plurality of PRS groups based on the priority for processing; and process the subset of the plurality of PRS groups to determine position information.
