Abstract
Techniques for improving enhanced cell identification (E-CID) positioning are provided. An example of a method for determining a location of a mobile device according to the disclosure includes generating a plurality of receive beams with a mobile device, receiving, with one or more of the plurality of receive beams, a radio beam transmitted from a base station, such that the radio beam includes a beam identification value, and determining a measurement quantity for the radio beam for each of the one or more of the plurality of receive beams.
Claims28
A method for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving a measurement result measured by the mobile device, the measurement result including at least a beam identification value and a received power value associated with a directional synchronization signal block received by one or more receive beams generated by the mobile device;
- and
- determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement result.
A system for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:
- at least one communication module configured to:
- receive a measurement result measured by the mobile device, the measurement result including at least a beam identification value and a received power value associated with a directional synchronization signal block received by one or more receive beams generated by the mobile device;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement result.
An apparatus for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:
- means for receiving a measurement result measured by the mobile device, the measurement result including at least a beam identification value and a received power value associated with a directional synchronization signal block received by one or more receive beams generated by the mobile device;
- and
- means for determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement result.
A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to determine a location of a mobile device, comprising instructions for:
- receiving a measurement result measured by the mobile device, the measurement result including at least a beam identification value and a received power value associated with a directional synchronization signal block received by one or more receive beams generated by the mobile device;
- and
- determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement result.
