Combining positioning-related data

The apparatus according to any preceding claim, further being caused to:

• determine whether a dataset received from the first user equipment is irrelevant;
• based on determining that the dataset received from the first user equipment is irrelevant, transmit, to the first user equipment, an indication to provide a new dataset;
• and
• receive the new dataset from the first user equipment,
• wherein the positioning-related data received from the at least one user equipment is combined with the one or more positioning data samples in the new dataset received from the first user equipment.

An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

• receive, from a network entity, a request for reporting one or more measurements suitable for evaluating similarity of propagation conditions of the apparatus and a first user equipment;
• transmit, to the network entity, a report indicating the one or more measurements or an availability of the one or more measurements;
• and
• transmit, to the network entity, positioning-related data to be combined with one or more positioning data samples provided from the first user equipment, the positioning-related data being complementary to the one or more positioning data samples provided from the first user equipment.

A method comprising:

• transmitting, to one or more candidate user equipments, a request for reporting one or more measurements suitable for evaluating similarity of propagation conditions of the one or more candidate user equipments and a first user equipment;
• receiving, from at least a subset of the one or more candidate user equipments, one or more reports indicating the one or more measurements or an availability of the one or more measurements;
• selecting, based at least on the one or more reports, at least one user equipment from the at least subset of the one or more candidate user equipments;
• receiving, from the at least one user equipment, positioning-related data that is complementary to one or more positioning data samples received from the first user equipment;
• and
• combining the positioning-related data received from the at least one user equipment with the one or more positioning data samples received from the first user equipment.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by an apparatus, from a network entity, a request for reporting one or more measurements suitable for evaluating similarity of propagation conditions of the apparatus and a first user equipment;
• transmitting, by the apparatus, to the network entity, a report indicating the one or more measurements or an availability of the one or more measurements;
• and
• transmitting, by the apparatus, to the network entity, positioning-related data to be combined with one or more positioning data samples provided from the first user equipment, the positioning-related data being complementary to the one or more positioning data samples provided from the first user equipment.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions which, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

• transmitting, to one or more candidate user equipments, a request for reporting one or more measurements suitable for evaluating similarity of propagation conditions of the one or more candidate user equipments and a first user equipment;
• receiving, from at least a subset of the one or more candidate user equipments, one or more reports indicating the one or more measurements or an availability of the one or more measurements;
• selecting, based at least on the one or more reports, at least one user equipment from the at least subset of the one or more candidate user equipments;
• receiving, from the at least one user equipment, positioning-related data that is complementary to one or more positioning data samples received from the first user equipment;
• and
• combining the positioning-related data received from the at least one user equipment with the one or more positioning data samples received from the first user equipment.
