Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE transmits, to a location server (e.g., a location management function (LMF)), a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight. The location server selects assistance data based in part upon the information in the message, and transmits the assistance data to the UE.
Claims112
A method of operating a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a location server, a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- and
- receiving, from the location server, assistance data that is based in part upon the information in the message.
A method of operating a location server, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- selecting assistance data based in part upon the information in the message;
- and
- transmitting the assistance data to the UE.
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:
- transmit, via the at least one transceiver, to a location server, a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- and
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, from the location server, assistance data that is based in part upon the information in the message.
A location server, 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:
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, from a user equipment (UE), a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- select assistance data based in part upon the information in the message;
- and
- transmit, via the at least one transceiver, the assistance data to the UE.
A user equipment (JE), comprising:
- means for transmitting, to a location server, a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- and
- means for receiving, from the location server, assistance data that is based in part upon the information in the message.
A location server, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- means for selecting assistance data based in part upon the information in the message;
- and
- means for transmitting the assistance data to the UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- transmit, to a location server, a message comprising information that is based on the UE being configured as an aerial UE that is capable of flight;
- and
- receive, from the location server, assistance data that is based in part upon the information in the message.
