Abstract
It is provided a method for detecting when a user equipment, UE, is airborne. The method is performed in a UE status detector and comprises the steps of: obtaining an indicator of variation of signal strengths for signals received in the UE, wherein the signals are transmitted for at least three different cells; and determining, based on the indicator of variation, when the UE is airborne.
Claims24
A method for detecting when a user equipment, UE, is airborne, the method being performed in a UE status detector and comprising the steps of:
- obtaining an indicator of variation of signal strengths for signals received in the UE, wherein the signals are transmitted for at least three different cells;
- and
- determining, based on the indicator of variation, when the UE is airborne.
A user equipment, UE, status detector for detecting when a UE is airborne, the UE status detector comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the UE status detector to:
- obtain an indicator of variation of signal strengths for signals received in the UE, wherein the signals are transmitted for at least three different cells;
- and
- determine, based on the indicator of variation, when the UE is airborne.
(canceled)
A computer program product for detecting when a user equipment, UE, is airborne, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program code which, when run on a UE status detector causes the UE status detector to:
- obtain an indicator of variation of signal strengths for signals received in the UE, wherein the signals are transmitted for at least three different cells;
- and
- determine, based on the indicator of variation, when the UE is airborne.
(canceled)
A method for enabling detecting when a user equipment, UE, is airborne, the method being performed in the UE and comprising the steps of:
- measuring a signal strength of respective signals for at least three cells;
- calculating an indicator of variation based on the signal strengths;
- and
- transmitting the indicator of variation to a UE status indicator.
