Abstract
A method of coordinating positioning signaling includes: sending, from a user equipment (UE), a request wirelessly for positioning service; receiving, at the UE, an indication of UE positioning signal times for sending UE positioning signals; and sending, from the UE, the UE positioning signals at the UE positioning signal times.
Claims8
A method of coordinating positioning signaling, the method comprising:
- sending, from a user equipment (UE), a request wirelessly for positioning service;
- receiving, at the UE, an indication of UE positioning signal times for sending UE positioning signals;
- and
- sending, from the UE, the UE positioning signals only at the UE positioning signal times per the indication of the UE positioning signal times;
- wherein the indication of UE positioning signal times comprises a schedule of base station positioning signals and an indication of a subset of base-station-transmission times corresponding to a subset of the base station positioning signals.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- send, via the transceiver, a wireless request for positioning service;
- receive, via the transceiver, an indication of UE positioning signal times for sending UE positioning signals;
- and
- send, via the transceiver, the UE positioning signals wirelessly only at the UE positioning signal times per the indication of the UE positioning signal times;
- wherein the indication of UE positioning signal times comprises an indication of a subset of base-station-transmission times corresponding to a subset of the base station positioning signals.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- means for sending a request wirelessly for positioning service;
- means for receiving an indication of UE positioning signal times for sending UE positioning signals;
- and
- means for sending the UE positioning signals only at the UE positioning signal times per the indication of the UE positioning signal times:
- wherein the indication of UE positioning signal times comprises a schedule of base station positioning signals and an indication of a subset of base-station-transmission times corresponding to a subset of the base station positioning signals.
A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause a processor to:
- send, from a user equipment (UE) via a transceiver of the UE, a request wirelessly for positioning service;
- receive, at the UE, an indication of UE positioning signal times for sending UE positioning signals;
- and
- send, from the UE via the transceiver, the UE positioning signals only at the UE positioning signal times per the indication of the UE positioning signal times;
- wherein the indication of UE positioning signal times comprises a schedule of base station positioning signals and an indication of a subset of base-station-transmission times corresponding to a subset of the base station positioning signals.
