Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices related to data transmission and accuracy for positioning User Equipment (UE) in a network are described. In one exemplary aspect, a method for wireless communication includes selecting, by a mobile device, one or more cells in a wireless network for facilitating a positioning of the mobile device in the wireless network. The method also includes transmitting, from the mobile device to a network node, a message to request assistance data corresponding to the one or more selected cells.
Claims16
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a wireless communication node from a mobile device, a first message including positioning capability information that indicates a capability of the mobile device for performing positioning measurements in a connected state;
- receiving, at the wireless communication node, a second message that indicates a completion of capabilities and assistance data exchange between the mobile device and the wireless communication node;
- determining, at the wireless communication node, based on the positioning capability information received during the capabilities and assistance data exchange, that the mobile device is configured to perform measurements in the connected state;
- and
- transmitting, from the wireless communication node, a third message to the mobile device to instruct the mobile device to perform positioning measurements based on the determining.

- transmitting, from a mobile device to a wireless communication node, a first message including positioning capability information that indicates a capability of the mobile device for performing positioning measurements in a connected state;
- transmitting, from the mobile device, a second message to the wireless communication node, the second message indicating a completion of capabilities and assistance data exchange between the mobile device and a network node;
- receiving, at the mobile device, a third message from a wireless communication node to instruct the mobile device to perform positioning measurements in the connected state;
- and
- performing, at the mobile device, based on the third message, positioning measurements in the connected state or an idle state.
An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor, and a memory including processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code upon execution by the processor configures the processor to:
- receive, from a mobile device, a first message including positioning capability information that indicates a capability of the mobile device for performing positioning measurements in a connected state;
- receive, at the apparatus, a second message that indicates a completion of capabilities and assistance data exchange between the mobile device and the wireless communication node;
- determine, based on the positioning capability information received during the capabilities and assistance data exchange, that the mobile device is configured to perform measurements in the connected state;
- and
- transmit a third message to the mobile device to instruct the mobile device to perform positioning measurements based on the determining.
