Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for triggering transmissions using a location. One apparatus includes a processor that determines reference location information. The processor also determines current location information. The processor determines whether a trigger is satisfied using the reference location information and the current location information. The apparatus also includes a transmitter that transmits the current location information in response to the trigger being satisfied.
Claims48
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor that:
- determines reference location information;
- determines current location information;
- and
- determines whether a trigger is satisfied using the reference location information and the current location information of the apparatus, wherein the apparatus is a user equipment;
- a transmitter that transmits the current location information of the user equipment in response to the trigger being satisfied to reduce resources used to transmit the current location information;
- and
- a receiver that receives information from a network device notifying the user equipment of one or more resource pools to use in response to transmitting the current location information, wherein the one or more resource pools are based on the current location information of the user equipment.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining, at a user equipment, reference location information;
- determining current location information of the user equipment;
- determining whether a trigger is satisfied using the reference location information and the current location information of the user equipment;
- transmitting the current location information of the user equipment in response to the trigger being satisfied to reduce resources used to transmit the current location information;
- and
- receiving information notifying the user equipment of one or more resource pools to use in response to transmitting the current location information, wherein the one or more resource pools are based on the current location information of the user equipment.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor that determines reference location information;
- a receiver that receives current location information of a user equipment from the user equipment in response to a trigger being satisfied using the reference location information and the current location information, wherein the current location information is received from the user equipment in response to the trigger being satisfied to reduce resources used by the user equipment to transmit the current location information;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits to the user equipment information notifying the user equipment of one or more resource pools to use in response to receiving the current location information of the user equipment, wherein the one or more resource pools are based on the current location information of the user equipment.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- determining reference location information;
- receiving, at a network device, current location information of a user equipment from the user equipment in response to a trigger being satisfied using the reference location information and the current location information, wherein the current location information is received from the user equipment in response to the trigger being satisfied to reduce resources used by the user equipment to transmit the current location information;
- and
- transmitting to the user equipment information notifying the user equipment of one or more resource pools to use in response to receiving the current location information of the user equipment, wherein the one or more resource pools are based on the current location information of the user equipment.
