MEASUREMENT AND PROCEDURES FOR NR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314519 titled 'MEASUREMENT AND PROCEDURES FOR NR POSITIONING
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining the positioning of user equipment (UE) within a 5G New Radio (NR) network by utilizing downlink position reference signals (PRS) and DL PRS report configurations.
- Receiving a DL PRS resource set indicating multiple DL PRS resources and a DL PRS report configuration for UE measurements.
- Performing position measurements for each DL PRS resource, including generating Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) measurements and determining RSRP or SINR metrics.
- Reporting the performed position measurements to determine the UE's location within the network.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced location services for mobile devices. - Improved network optimization and resource allocation. - Enhanced security and surveillance applications.
Problems Solved: - Accurate positioning of UE within a 5G NR network. - Efficient utilization of DL PRS resources for location determination. - Enhanced network performance and user experience.
Benefits: - Precise location tracking for emergency services and asset management. - Enhanced network efficiency and capacity management. - Improved user experience with optimized network connectivity.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Location Services for 5G Networks" This technology can be utilized in industries such as telecommunications, IoT, smart cities, and public safety for enhanced location-based services and network optimization.
Questions about UE Positioning in 5G NR Networks: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of UE positioning in a 5G NR network?
- This technology utilizes DL PRS resources and measurements to accurately determine the location of user equipment within the network.
2. What are the potential implications of this technology for emergency services and public safety applications?

Original Abstract Submitted
user equipment (ue) positioning within a 5g new radio (nr) network may be determined by receiving a downlink (dl) position reference signal (prs) resource set indicating a plurality of dl prs resources and receiving a dl prs report configuration that indicates a set of measurements to be performed by a ue for each of the plurality of dl prs resources within the dl prs resource set. position measurements may be performed for each of the plurality of dl prs resources within the dl prs resource set, including generating a reference signal time difference (rstd) measurement by estimating a timing of a first arrival path from at least two of the plurality of dl prs resources and determining a reference signal received power (rsrp) metric or a signal to noise and interference ratio (sinr) metric associated with the at least two dl prs resources. the performed position measurements may be reported.
