US 2026/0089670 A1 · LANDMARK BASED POSITIONING OPERATIONS

Abstract

An example method performed by a first user equipment (UE) for positioning can include obtaining information associated with one or more landmarks, determining an identification and/or a classification of at least one of the one or more landmarks, transmitting, to a configuring entity, the identification and/or the classification, and receiving, from the configuring entity, assistance data for performing a positioning procedure, wherein the assistance data is generated by the configuring entity based at least in part on the identification and/or the classification. The method can further include performing the positioning procedure based at least in part on the assistance data. In an example implementation, the identification and/or the classification provides an indication that a landmark among the one or more landmarks is either a man-made structure or a natural object.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) for positioning, the method comprising:

obtaining information associated with one or more landmarks;
determining at least one of an identification or a classification of at least one of the one or more landmarks;
transmitting, to a configuring entity, the at least one of the identification or the classification;
receiving, from the configuring entity, assistance data for performing a positioning procedure, wherein the assistance data is generated by the configuring entity based at least in part on the at least one of the identification or the classification;
and
performing the positioning procedure based at least in part on the assistance data.

3 more elements

A first user equipment (UE) for performing positioning, comprising:

at least one transceiver;
at least one memory;
and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory, the one or more processors configured to:
obtain, via the at least one transceiver, information associated with one or more landmarks;
determine at least one of an identification or a classification of at least one of the one or more landmarks;
transmit, via the at least one transceiver, to a configuring entity, the at least one of the identification or the classification;
receive, via the at least one transceiver, from the configuring entity, assistance data for performing a positioning procedure, wherein the assistance data is generated by the configuring entity based at least in part on the at least one of the identification or the classification;
and
perform the positioning procedure based on configuring the first UE.
