Abstract
An entity in a wireless communication network may request information regarding a wireless device location. Positioning measurement(s) by a base station may be used for determining the wireless device location. Wireless device location information, based on the positioning measurement(s), may be communicated to a network device, via a user plane transmission, to indicate the location of the wireless device with improved accuracy.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a base station, a first message comprising a request for a positioning measurement associated with a wireless device;
- performing the positioning measurement associated with the wireless device;
- and
- sending, to the wireless device based on the positioning measurement, a positioning measurement report.
A base station comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
- receive a first message comprising a request for a positioning measurement associated with a wireless device;
- perform the positioning measurement associated with the wireless device;
- and
- send, to the wireless device based on the positioning measurement, a positioning measurement report.
A wireless device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
- receive a first message comprising a request for an indication, via a user plane, of a position of the wireless device;
- send, to a base station, a second message comprising a request for a positioning measurement associated with the wireless device;
- receive, from the base station, a positioning measurement report;
- and
- send, via the user plane, information indicating a position of the wireless device, wherein the information indicating the position of the wireless device is based on the positioning measurement report.
A system comprising:
- a base station;
- and
- a core network device,
- wherein the base station comprises:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:
- receive a message comprising a request for a positioning measurement associated with a wireless device;
- perform the positioning measurement associated with the wireless device;
- and
- send, based on the positioning measurement, a positioning measurement report, and
- wherein the core network device comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the core network device to:
- receive, from a second core network device, network status information;
- and
- send, based on the network status information, indication of user plane transmission for a wireless device positioning.
