Abstract
Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses for transmitting positioning beacon beams including transmitting a plurality of positioning beacon beams from a first node in a first time period using a first order of transmission. Then, the first node transmits the plurality of positioning beacon beams from a second time period using a second order of transmission, where the first order of transmission is different in the second order of transmission.
Claims30
A method for transmitting positioning beacon beams, comprising:
- transmitting a plurality of positioning beacon beams from a first node in a first time period using a first order of transmission;
- transmitting the plurality of positioning beacon beams from the first node in a second time period using a second order of transmission, wherein the first order of transmission is different from the second order of transmission, wherein the second order of transmission is permuted based on a cell-specific pseudorandom sequence initialization;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of positioning beacon beams from the first node in at least one additional time period using at least one additional order of transmission, wherein each order of transmission is different.
A method for transmitting positioning beacon beams, comprising:
- transmitting a plurality of positioning beacon beams from a user equipment (UE) in a first time period using a first order of transmission;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of positioning beacon beams from the UE in a second time period using a second order of transmission, wherein the first order of transmission is different from the second order of transmission and the second order of transmission is permuted based on a network specific parameter which is provided by another network entity in communication with the UE.
An apparatus configured to transmit positioning beacon beams, comprising:
- a transceiver of a first node configured to transmit a plurality of positioning beacon beams from the first node in a first time period using a first order of transmission;
- the transceiver of the first node further configured to transmit the plurality of positioning beacon beams from the first node in a second time period using a second order of transmission, wherein the first order of transmission is different from the second order of transmission, wherein the second order of transmission is permuted based on a cell-specific pseudorandom sequence initialization;
- and
- the transceiver of the first node further configured to transmit the plurality of positioning beacon beams from the first node in at least one additional time period using at least one additional order of transmission, wherein each order of transmission is different.
An apparatus for transmitting positioning beacon beams, comprising:
- means for transmitting a plurality of positioning beacon beams from a first node in a first time period using a first order of transmission;
