Abstract
Techniques are provided for positioning of user equipment (UE) with paging messages. An example method for positioning a user equipment with paging messages includes receiving a positioning paging message with a user equipment in an idle state, measuring positioning measurements in response to receiving the positioning paging message, determining location information based at least in part on the positioning measurements, and transmitting the location information via a random access procedure.
Claims32
A method for positioning a user equipment with paging messages, comprising:
- receiving a positioning paging message with the user equipment in an idle state, the positioning paging message including at least one assistance data indication, wherein the positioning paging message indicates a period and a duration for the user equipment to provide location information;
- receiving assistance data based on the at least one assistance data indication;
- measuring positioning measurements by the user equipment with the user equipment in the idle state in response to receiving, and based on, the at least one assistance data indication of the positioning paging message;
- determining the location information based at least in part on the positioning measurements;
- and
- transmitting the location information via a random access procedure.
A method for determining a location of a user equipment, comprising:
- transmitting a positioning paging message to the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is an idle state, the positioning paging message including at least one assistance data indication to assist the user equipment to perform positioning measurements while the user equipment is in the idle state, wherein the positioning paging message indicates a period and a duration for the user equipment to provide location information;
- and
- receiving the location information from the user equipment via a random access procedure.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver and configured to:
- receive a positioning paging message while in an idle state, the positioning paging message including at least one assistance data indication, wherein the positioning paging message indicates a period and a duration for a user equipment to provide location information;
- receive assistance data based on the at least one assistance data indication;
- measure positioning measurements with the user equipment in the idle state in response to receiving, and based on, the at least one assistance data indication of the positioning paging message;
- determine the location information based at least in part on the positioning measurements;
- and
- transmit the location information via a random access procedure.
