Patent ID: 10863453

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for estimating a location of a user equipment (UE) (102) in a wireless communication system (100) are presented. For instance, in an example method performed by a UE (102), the UE (102) can receive positioning reference signals (PRSs) transmitted by multiple cells, where a cell of the multiple cells transmits a series of PRSs according to a transmission power pattern (112). The transmission power pattern (112) defines a transmission power for each PRS of the series, the transmission power for each PRS of the series being part of a non-binary set of allowable transmission powers. The example method may also include generating PRS measurement data (114) for the UE (102) based on the received PRSs. Methods and apparatuses related to the UE example above are provided for a positioning server (108) and network node (106).
