Abstract
A method, for providing a virtual positioning signal measurement, includes: determining that an expected positioning signal measurement is absent from a plurality of actual positioning signal measurements made by a UE; and providing a virtual measurement value, for the expected positioning signal measurement, based on at least one actual positioning signal measurement that is of a same type as the expected positioning signal measurement and that corresponds to at least one positioning signal measured by the UE.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive signals wirelessly;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the receiver and the memory and configured to:
- determine that an expected positioning signal measurement is absent from a plurality of actual positioning signal measurements made by a user equipment (UE);
- and
- provide a virtual measurement value, for the expected positioning signal measurement, that is a simulated measurement value based on at least one actual positioning signal measurement that is of a same type as the expected positioning signal measurement and that is measured close in time to a timing of the expected positioning signal measurement measured by the UE.

An apparatus comprising:
- means for determining that an expected positioning signal measurement is absent from a plurality of actual positioning signal measurements made by a user equipment (UE);
- and
- means for providing a virtual measurement value, for the expected positioning signal measurement, that is a simulated measurement value based on at least one actual positioning signal measurement that is of a same type as the expected positioning signal measurement and is measured close in time to a timing of the expected positioning signal measurement measured by the UE.
A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions to cause a processor of an apparatus to:
- determine that an expected positioning signal measurement is absent from a plurality of actual positioning signal measurements made by a user equipment (UE);
- and
- provide a virtual measurement value, for the expected positioning signal measurement, that is a simulated measurement value based on at least one actual positioning signal measurement that is of a same type as the expected positioning signal measurement and that is measured close in time to a timing of the expected positioning signal measurement measured by the UE.
