Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for location services in a non-terrestrial networks (“NTN”). One method includes configuring a plurality of location services for a UE over an NTN NG-RAN that comprises at least one satellite and at least one NTN gateway. The method includes determining an architecture type of the NTN NG-RAN and determining a target-UE position estimate based on the determined architecture type.
Claims15
A method of a network entity, comprising:
- configuring a plurality of location services for a user equipment (“UE”) over a non-terrestrial network (“NTN”) next generation-radio access network (“NG-RAN”), the NTN NG-RAN comprising at least one satellite and at least one NTN gateway;
- determining an architecture type of the NTN NG-RAN;
- and
- determining a target-UE position estimate based on the determined architecture type.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a user equipment (“UE”) configured with a plurality of location services;
- a non-terrestrial network (“NTN”) next generation-radio access network (“NG-RAN”) configured to serve the UE, wherein the NTN NG-RAN comprises at least one satellite and at least one NTN gateway;
- and
- a location management entity communicatively coupled to the UE and NTN NG-RAN, the location management entity configured to:
- determine an architecture type of the NTN NG-RAN;
- and
- determine a target-UE position estimate based on the determined architecture type.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to cause the apparatus to:
- configure a plurality of location services to a user equipment (“UE”) over a non-terrestrial network (“NTN”) next generation-radio access network (“NG-RAN”), the NTN NG-RAN comprising at least one satellite and at least one NTN gateway;
- determine an architecture type of the NTN NG-RAN;
- select at least one positioning method to be employed based on the determined architecture type;
- select a measurement associated with each positioning method to be employed;
- configure at least one network node with the at least one positioning method to be employed and the respective measurement associated with each positioning method to be employed, the network node being one of a UE or an NTN NG-RAN node;
- and
- determine a target-UE position estimate based on the determined architecture type.
