Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) performs a plurality of positioning measurements of a corresponding plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) resources within a measurement window, wherein the measurement window spans at least one system frame number (SFN) rollover, and transmits, to a location server, at least one measurement report associated with the measurement window, the at least one measurement report including a plurality of timestamp information elements corresponding to the plurality of positioning measurements, wherein at least one timestamp information element of the plurality of timestamp information elements indicates the at least one SFN rollover.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein provide means by which cell information indicative of a location of a UE may be conveyed to a location server over a 5G NR data connection using a SUPL message with an LTE cell ID data field. In some embodiments, for example, the UE may include the Cell ID of a LTE neighbor cell or information regarding a 5G NR serving cell, such as a portion of the 5G NR Cell ID or a reserved value or sequence identifying the 5G NR serving cell. The techniques may be applicable to the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) solution defined by OMA and may enable a UE and a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) to support location of the UE using a version of SUPL without explicit support of 5G NR wireless access.
Abstract:
A method for of wireless communication, by a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) includes selecting a first subscription to receive a positioning system information broadcast (posSIB) based on a first subscription state and a second subscription state. The method also includes receiving the posSIB via the first subscription. The UE may switch from the first subscription to a second subscription to receive a subsequent posSIB, in response to the second subscription state changing and/or the first subscription state changing. The state switching may be between connected mode and inactive/idle mode, or between voice service and data service.
Abstract:
A method includes: receiving a request at a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) for location-related service; producing a positioning method SUPL message that includes a posmethod parameter that includes a positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer; and sending the positioning method SUPL message from the SLP to a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) using a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP).
Abstract:
Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a device or a server. The apparatus may detect a set of cells associated with a network node, where each of the set of cells includes a cell ID, where the cell ID for each of the set of cells is associated with a node ID for the network node. The apparatus may also identify a location of each of the set of cells based on the cell ID for each of the set of cells. Additionally, the apparatus may estimate an average location of the set of cells based on the location of each of the set of cells. The apparatus may also calculate a location of the network node based on the average location of the set of cells.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a location server, a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration for a downlink-and-uplink-based positioning session between the UE and the location server, waits, based on a determination that a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration for the downlink-and-uplink-based positioning session has not been received from a serving base station of the UE, for reception of the SRS configuration from the serving base station until expiration of a timer, and determines, based on the expiration of the timer, whether the SRS configuration was received.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) and a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) support a SUPL positioning session for at least one uplink or uplink-downlink position method, such as uplink Angle of Arrival or multi-Round Trip Time. To support SUPL positioning for uplink or uplink-downlink position methods, the UE provides an identifier for a serving Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and an identifier for the UE to the SLP in a SUPL message. The SLP may exchange positioning messages with a serving base station for the UE using the identifier for the serving AMF and the identifier for the UE. The exchange of positioning messages may enable the SLP to request the serving base station to instigate transmission of uplink positioning reference signals by the UE which may be a key enabler for an uplink or uplink-downlink position method.

Abstract:
Techniques are discussed herein for supporting location of a user equipment (UE) with wireless access using a user plane (UP) location solution like SUPL. To locate the UE, an initial UP location session is established between the UE and a location server (LS) during which the LS requests location measurements from the UE. The UE obtains the location measurements by ending the location session and entering an idle state, after indicating this intent to the LS. The UE sends the location measurements to the LS by reentering a connected state and starting a new UP location session with the LS, which may be associated with the initial location session using common identification information. The techniques may be used for a UE with only a single RF chain (e.g. a UE that supports NB-IoT or other narrowband wireless access).
Abstract:
A method for assisting a mobile device to perform positioning measurements on positioning signals periodically transmitted by at least some of a plurality of cells in a wireless communication network includes receiving cell information. The cell information is measured or otherwise obtained by the mobile device and includes measurements/data pertaining to one or more of the plurality of cells in the wireless communication network. The method includes generating assistance data to include an assigned frequency channel number for use by the mobile device for performing the positioning measurements based on the received cell information. The assistance data is then sent to the mobile device.
