METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ROUND-TRIP-TIME MEASUREMENT ON A SL INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18303350 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ROUND-TRIP-TIME MEASUREMENT ON A SL INTERFACE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system.

  • The method involves receiving a positioning reference signal (PRS) from another UE in a specific time slot.
  • The UE measures the receive timing of the PRS in that time slot.
  • The UE determines the reference transmit timing of the time slot.
  • The UE calculates the time difference between the receive and transmit timings of the PRS.
  • Based on this time difference, the UE determines information for a report.

This method allows the UE to accurately measure the timing difference between the receive and transmit signals, which can be used for various purposes in the wireless communication system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a second UE, a first sidelink (SL) positioning reference signal (PRS) in slot m; measuring a receive (Rx) timing of the first SL PRS in the slot m; and determining a reference transmit (Tx) timing of the slot m. The method further includes determining a first SL Rx - Tx time difference as a difference between the Rx timing of the first SL PRS in the slot m and the reference Tx timing of the slot m and determine information for a first report based on the first SL Rx - Tx time difference.
