LOS PROBABILITY MAP SIGNALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17819589 titled 'LOS PROBABILITY MAP SIGNALING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for line-of-sight (LOS) probability map signaling in a radio access network (RAN) environment. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• Receiving a positioning signal wirelessly between a user equipment (UE) and a transmission/reception point (TRP) in the RAN.
• Identifying an LOS probability function for the wireless link based on LOS probability map information provided by a location management function (LMF) in the core network.
• Generating an LOS probability estimate for the wireless link using the LOS probability function.

Potential Applications:

• Wireless communication systems
• Location-based services
• Network optimization

Problems Solved:

• Improving signal reliability in wireless communication
• Enhancing location accuracy for services like navigation and tracking

Benefits:

• Increased accuracy in determining line-of-sight probability
• Enhanced performance of wireless networks
• Improved user experience for location-based services

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for line-of-sight (LOS) probability map signaling are disclosed. The techniques can include receiving a positioning signal via a wireless link between the UE and a transmission/reception point (TRP) of a radio access network (RAN), identifying an LOS probability function associated with the wireless link based on LOS probability map information provided by a location management function (LMF) of a core network for the RAN, and generating an LOS probability estimate for the wireless link using the LOS probability function.
