RSTD Measurement Report Mapping for NR Positioning - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337719 titled 'RSTD Measurement Report Mapping for NR Positioning
The abstract describes a method, user equipment (UE), and integrated circuit for reporting Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) values to a network. The UE connects to a network with a first and second cell, receives positioning reference signals from each cell, determines frequency bands for the signals, calculates RSTD values based on time offsets between the signals, determines RSTD reporting values, and transmits them to the network.
- User equipment (UE) establishes a connection to a network with multiple cells.
- UE receives positioning reference signals from different cells.
- UE calculates RSTD values based on time offsets between the signals.
- UE determines RSTD reporting values using the calculated values and frequency bands.
- UE transmits an indication of the RSTD reporting values to the network.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced network performance and accuracy in location-based services. - Improved handover procedures between cells for seamless connectivity. - Enhanced network optimization based on RSTD values for better resource allocation.
Problems Solved: - Addressing inaccuracies in determining user location within a network. - Improving the efficiency of handover procedures between cells. - Enhancing overall network performance and reliability.
Benefits: - Increased accuracy in determining user location. - Improved network efficiency and resource allocation. - Enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Location-Based Services Using RSTD Reporting" This technology can be utilized in telecommunications, IoT, and navigation industries to enhance location-based services, improve network performance, and optimize resource allocation. The market implications include increased user satisfaction, improved network efficiency, and potential cost savings for network operators.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method of calculating RSTD values improve network performance? 2. What are the key advantages of using RSTD reporting in handover procedures?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method, ue and integrated circuit for reporting rstd values to a network. a user equipment (ue) is configured to establish a connection to a network, the network comprising a first cell and a second cell. the ue receives a positioning reference signal from each of the first and second cells, determines a frequency band for each of the positioning reference signals, determines reference signal time difference (rstd) values from measured time offsets between the positioning reference signals from the first and second cells, determines rstd reporting values based on at least the rstd values and the determined frequency bands and transmits an indication of the rstd reporting values to the network.
