Abstract
A method for using a first UE as an anchor point includes: sending, from the first UE to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS between the first UE and a second UE; where the method further includes: sending, from the first UE to the second UE, a first PRS; or measuring, at the first UE, a second PRS received from the second UE; or a combination thereof.
Claims35
A first UE (user equipment) comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the wireless interface and the memory;
- wherein the processor is configured to send, via the wireless interface to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS (positioning reference signal) between the first UE and a second UE;
- and
- wherein:
- the processor is configured to send, via the wireless interface to the second UE, a first PRS;
- or
- the processor is configured to measure a second PRS received via the wireless interface from the second UE;
- or
- a combination thereof.
A method for using a first UE (user equipment) as an anchor point, the method comprising:
- sending, from the first UE to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS (positioning reference signal) between the first UE and a second UE;
- wherein the method further comprises:
- sending, from the first UE to the second UE, a first PRS;
- or
- measuring, at the first UE, a second PRS received from the second UE;
- or
- a combination thereof.
A first UE (user equipment) comprising:
- second sending means for sending, to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS (positioning reference signal) between the first UE and a second UE;
- and
- wherein the first UE further comprises:
- first sending means for sending, to the second UE, a first PRS;
- or
- means for measuring a second PRS received from the second UE;
- or
- a combination thereof.
A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions to cause a processor, of a first UE (user equipment), to:
- send, to a network entity, a positioning capability message indicating that the first UE is capable of transferring a PRS (positioning reference signal) between the first UE and a second UE;
- wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium further comprises:
- processor-readable instructions to cause the processor to send, to the second UE, a first PRS;
- or
- processor-readable instructions to cause the processor to measure a second PRS received from the second UE;
- or
- a combination thereof.
