Abstract
An enhanced location based service for hybrid long term evolution (LTE) and/or Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) network is disclosed. A method can comprise receiving, from a user equipment device, via a radio access technology, a first message representative of a request for measurement gap information for a location based service; determining a location of the user equipment device based on a serving cell location of a serving cell device that services the user equipment device; and transmitting, to the user equipment device, a second message comprising data representative of the measurement gap information.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment via a radio access technology, a first message representative of a request for measurement gap information for a location based service;
- determining a location of the user equipment based on a serving cell location of a serving cell device that services the user equipment, and based on the location of the user equipment being determined to be an indoor location, determining a probability that the user equipment receives a signal transmitted via the radio access technology;
- and
- based on the probability, transmitting, to the user equipment, a second message comprising data representative of the measurement gap information.
A method, comprising:
- sending, by a system comprising a processor, via a radio access technology, to network equipment that services the system, a request for data representing measurement gap information for a location based service;
- facilitating, by the system, determining a first location of the system in relation to a second location of the network equipment, determining that the first location is an indoor location, determining a probability that the system will receive a signal transmitted via the radio access technology, and based on the probability, receiving the data;
- and
- in response to receiving the data, performing, by the system, an inter-band pilot signal scan for a neighbor base station device during a defined measurement gap interval.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment via a radio access technology, a first message representative of a request for measurement gap information for a location based service;
- determining a location of the user equipment based on a serving cell location of serving cell equipment that services the user equipment, and in response to the location of the user equipment being determined to be an indoor location, determining a probability that the user equipment will receive a signal transmitted via the radio access technology;
- and
- based on the probability, transmitting, to the user equipment, a second message comprising data representative of the measurement gap information.
