Abstract
Certain example embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determining radio frequency (RF) conditions using sensing information. A network node may construct a map of RF conditions associated with location information within its coverage area. The network node may configure a radio resource control (RRC)-connected UE to operate in an RF sensing mode. The network node may obtain a positioning of the UE from a sensing node. The network node may determine the RF conditions of the UE based on its position using the map.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network node from a sensing node, location information determined by the sensing node and associated with a user equipment;
- determining one or more radio frequency parameters for the user equipment based on the location information and a map of one or more radio frequency conditions in at least one cell;
- communicating with the user equipment using the one or more determined radio frequency parameters;
- and
- periodically validating the one or more radio frequency parameters for the user equipment using radio frequency information from at least one other user equipment located within a same cell as the user equipment.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a sensing node, location information determined by the sensing node and associated with a user equipment;
- determine one or more radio frequency parameters for the user equipment based on the location information and a map of one or more radio frequency conditions in at least one cell;
- communicate with the user equipment using the one or more determined radio frequency parameters;
- and
- periodically validate the one or more radio frequency parameters for the user equipment using radio frequency information from at least one other user equipment located within a same cell as the user equipment.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a network node, a configuration associated with operating in a sensing mode;
- communicate with the network node using one or more validated radio frequency parameters that are based on location information associated with the apparatus, which is determined by a sensing node, and a map of one or more radio frequency conditions in at least one cell, wherein the one or more determined radio frequency parameters are periodically validated by the network node using radio frequency information from at least one other apparatus located within a same cell as the apparatus;
- and
- revert from operating in the sensing mode.
