Abstract
A method for centralized device tracking includes: obtaining, at a first UE from multiple sources, first multi-source position information corresponding to a second UE; determining, based on the first multi-source position information, second multi-source position information corresponding to the second UE; identifying a third UE, separate from the first UE, to which the second multi-source position information is relevant; and sending migration information to the third UE, the migration information comprising an identifier of the second UE and comprising the first multi-source position information, or the second multi-source position information, or a combination thereof.
Claims28
A method for centralized device tracking, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at a first user equipment (UE) from multiple sources, first multi-source position information corresponding to a second UE;
- determining, based on the first multi-source position information, second multi-source position information corresponding to the second UE;
- identifying a third UE, separate from the first UE, to which the second multi-source position information is relevant;
- sending migration information to the third UE, the migration information comprising an identifier of the second UE and comprising the first multi-source position information, or the second multi-source position information, or a combination thereof;
- and
- sending the migration information to a network entity in response to a failure to identify the third UE or in response to failure to identify a static UE as the third UE.
A first UE (user equipment) comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory and configured to:
- obtain, from multiple sources, first multi-source position information corresponding to a second UE;
- determine, based on the first multi-source position information, second multi-source position information corresponding to the second UE;
- identify a third UE, separate from the first UE, to which the second multi-source position information is relevant;
- send migration information to the third UE, the migration information comprising an identifier of the second UE and comprising the first multi-source position information, or the second multi-source position information, or a combination thereof;
- and
- send the migration information to a network entity in response to failure of the processor to identify the third UE or in response to failure of the processor to identify a static UE as the third UE.
A first UE (user equipment) comprising:
- means for obtaining, from multiple sources, first multi-source position information corresponding to a second UE;
- means for determining, based on the first multi-source position information, second multi-source position information corresponding to the second UE;
- means for identifying a third UE, separate from the first UE, to which the second multi-source position information is relevant;
- means for sending migration information to the third UE, migration information comprising an identifier of the second UE and comprising the first multi-source position information, or the second multi-source position information, or a combination thereof;
- and
- means for sending the migration information to a network entity in response to failure of the means for identifying the third UE to identify the third UE or in response to failure of the means for identifying the third UE to identify a static UE as the third UE.
A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium of a first UE (user equipment) comprising processor-readable instructions to cause a processor of the first UE to:
- obtain, from multiple sources, first multi-source position information corresponding to a second UE;
- determine, based on the first multi-source position information, second multi-source position information corresponding to the second UE;
- identify a third UE, separate from the first UE, to which the second multi-source position information is relevant;
- send migration information to the third UE, the migration information comprising an identifier of the second UE and comprising the first multi-source position information, or the second multi-source position information, or a combination thereof;
- and
- send the migration information to a network entity in response to failure to identify the third UE or in response to failure to identify a static UE as the third UE.
