Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for performing positioning operations. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure, and receives, from the positioning entity, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
Claims88
A method for performing positioning assistance operations at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- receiving, from the positioning entity, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A method for performing positioning assistance operations at a positioning entity, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- cause the at least one transceiver to transmit, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- receive, from the positioning entity via the at least one transceiver, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A positioning entity, comprising:
- a memory;
- a communication device;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the communication device, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a user equipment (UE) via the communication device, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- cause the communication device to transmit, to the UE, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for transmitting, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- means for receiving, from the positioning entity, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A positioning entity, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the UE, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
- at least one instruction instructing a user equipment (UE) to transmit, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- at least one instruction instructing the UE to receive, from the positioning entity, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
- at least one instruction instructing a positioning entity to receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure;
- and
- at least one instruction instructing the positioning entity to transmit, to the UE, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
