Hybrid positioning based on frequency dependent propagation effects

A server device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• one or more transceivers;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
• obtain a channel frequency of a channel of a transmission-reception point (TRP) of a first radio access technology (RAT), a positioning procedure for a user device being performed based on one or more positioning reference signals from the TRP over the channel;
• and
• determine a first frequency-scaled filtering distance for the channel frequency by applying a frequency-scaled filtering distance model based on the channel frequency, a nominal frequency of the TRP, a first filtering distance associated with the nominal frequency, and a decay parameter of the TRP,
• wherein:
• the first frequency-scaled filtering distance indicates that, based on one or more first recorded positions of one or more first access points (APs) of a second RAT being within the first frequency-scaled filtering distance from the TRP, the one or more first recorded positions of the one or more first APs are usable in the positioning procedure for the user device.

A server device, comprising:

• means for obtaining a channel frequency of a channel of a transmission-reception point (TRP) of a first radio access technology (RAT), a positioning procedure for a user device being performed based on one or more positioning reference signals from the TRP over the channel;
• and
• means for determining a first frequency-scaled filtering distance for the channel frequency by applying a frequency-scaled filtering distance model based on the channel frequency, a nominal frequency of the TRP, a first filtering distance associated with the nominal frequency, and a decay parameter of the TRP,
• wherein:
• the first frequency-scaled filtering distance indicates that, based on one or more first recorded positions of one or more first access points (APs) of a second RAT being within the first frequency-scaled filtering distance from the TRP, the one or more first recorded positions of the one or more first APs are usable in the positioning procedure for the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a server device, cause the server device to:

• obtain a channel frequency of a channel of a transmission-reception point (TRP) of a first radio access technology (RAT), a positioning procedure for a user device being performed based on one or more positioning reference signals from the TRP over the channel;
• and
• determine a first frequency-scaled filtering distance for the channel frequency by applying a frequency-scaled filtering distance model based on the channel frequency, a nominal frequency of the TRP, a first filtering distance associated with the nominal frequency, and a decay parameter of the TRP,
• wherein:
• the first frequency-scaled filtering distance indicates that, based on one or more first recorded positions of one or more first access points (APs) of a second RAT being within the first frequency-scaled filtering distance from the TRP, the one or more first recorded positions of the one or more first APs are usable in the positioning procedure for the user device.
