UE-TO-UE POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18251258 titled 'UE-TO-UE POSITIONING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for using a first User Equipment (UE) as an anchor point in a network. The method involves the first UE sending a positioning capability message to a network entity, indicating its ability to transfer a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) between itself and a second UE. The first UE then either sends a first PRS to the second UE or measures a second PRS received from the second UE, or both.
- The first UE sends a positioning capability message to a network entity, indicating its ability to transfer a PRS between itself and a second UE.
- The first UE can send a first PRS to the second UE.
- The first UE can measure a second PRS received from the second UE.
- The method can involve a combination of sending a first PRS and measuring a second PRS.
Potential Applications
- This method can be used in wireless communication networks for positioning and location-based services.
- It can be applied in scenarios where accurate positioning of UEs is required, such as navigation systems, asset tracking, and emergency services.
Problems Solved
- The method provides a way to use a first UE as an anchor point for positioning in a network.
- It enables the transfer of a PRS between UEs, allowing for accurate positioning and location determination.
Benefits
- Accurate positioning: The method allows for precise positioning of UEs by transferring PRS between them.
- Improved location-based services: By using a first UE as an anchor point, the method enhances the accuracy and reliability of location-based services.
- Efficient network utilization: The method optimizes the use of UEs in the network by leveraging their positioning capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for using a first UE as an anchor point includes: sending, from the first UE to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS between the first UE and a second UE; where the method further includes: sending, from the first UE to the second UE, a first PRS; or measuring, at the first UE, a second PRS received from the second UE; or a combination thereof.
