    Abstract: Mobile devices often use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to calculate position information of mobile devices within the network. However, physical distance between the mobile device and a signal source for positioning and other environmental factors can influence the signal strength of received signals. Received signals at the mobile device that are stronger may drown out the weaker signals, particularly when two signal sources occupy the same symbol. In traditional OFDM, a signal source transmits the same symbol for each positioning occasion, so a weaker signal may never be detected over a stronger signal, reducing the accuracy of the positioning calculations. Described herein are systems and methods for using a pattern to vary the designated symbol for each signal source in a wireless network so that a weaker signal from a signal source may be detected on at least some of the positioning occasions.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are described. In one example, a method, on a base station, for providing position measurements signals in a wireless communication network, comprises: determining a plurality of subcarriers for downlink transmission, wherein the plurality of subcarriers for downlink transmission comprise all subcarriers indicated in a resource block of a scheduled time of transmission within a scheduled transmission occasion, wherein the resource block comprises a plurality of symbol periods, wherein each symbol period of the plurality of symbol periods is for transmission of a symbol using one or more subcarriers of the plurality of subcarriers; and transmitting at the scheduled time of transmission, and using each subcarrier of the plurality of subcarriers, a wireless position measurement signal at the scheduled transmission occasion, the wireless position measurement signal being part of a sequence of wireless signals representing a position measurement signal bitstream.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determination of multipath for determining a location of user equipment (UE) are presented. In some embodiments, the UE may, based on a first indication of signal strength associated with a first polarization type, and a second indication of signal strength associated with a second polarization type, determine an indication of multipath reflection along a path of signal propagation between a space vehicle (e.g., GNSS satellite) and the UE. Circularly polarized positioning signals may be received by the UE via natively present linearly polarized antennas and converted into circularly polarized signals. Converted circularly polarized signals may include right-handed and left-handed components, and signal strengths for each component may be compared to determine the presence of multipath. Positioning signals may be given a weight or disregarded based on the multipath determination when determining the position of the UE.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining a UE position within a coverage sub-area of a cell based on cell identity data are presented. In some embodiments, the UE detects one more cell identities, including a cell identity of a serving cell and possibly a cell identity of a neighbor cell of the serving cell. The one or more cell identities are included in cell identity data. The cell identity data is used in a look up of a data structure that associates coverage sub-areas of a coverage area of the serving cell with most likely positions within the coverage sub-areas and with cell identities. The result of the look up indicates that the UE is positioned at a most likely position within a coverage sub-area of the serving cell.

    Abstract: A method of measuring a satellite signal includes: receiving, at an apparatus, the satellite signal; determining, at the apparatus, a first code phase of the satellite signal, corresponding to a first time period, based on a first portion of the satellite signal that has a first bandwidth; determining, at the apparatus, a second code phase of the satellite signal, corresponding to a second time period, based on a second portion of the satellite signal that has a second bandwidth, where the second bandwidth is larger than the first bandwidth, and where the second time period is separate from the first time period; and determining, at the apparatus, a carrier phase of the satellite signal based on the first portion of the satellite signal and a third portion of the satellite signal that has the first bandwidth and spans the second time period.
