Abstract
A base station serves as a positioning node for locating a user equipment (UE). The base station receives information from a network component indicating the UE is transmitting positioning sounding reference signals (SRS), monitors for the positioning SRS based on, at least, the information and when positioning SRS are received from the UE, transmits SRS information to the network.
Claims28
A method, comprising:
- at a base station serving as a positioning node for locating a user equipment (UE):
- receiving information from a network component indicating the UE is transmitting positioning sounding reference signals (SRS);
- monitoring for the positioning SRS based on, at least, the information;
- and
- when positioning SRS are received from the UE, transmitting SRS information to the network.
A base station serving as a positioning node for locating a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive information from a network component indicating the UE is transmitting positioning sounding reference signals (SRS);
- monitor for the positioning SRS based on, at least, the information;
- and
- when positioning SRS are received from the UE, transmit SRS information to the network.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving information from a network component of a network indicating a user equipment (UE) is transmitting positioning sounding reference signals (SRS);
- monitoring for the positioning SRS based on, at least, the information;
- and
- when positioning SRS are received from the UE, transmitting SRS information to the network.
A user equipment, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving configuration information related to positioning sounding reference signals (SRS);
- and
- transmitting positioning SRS according to the configuration information.
