Abstract:
Techniques described herein are directed toward enabling location support for 5G New Radio (NR) wireless access by a user equipment (UE) by utilizing existing LTE location support. More specifically, LTE positioning protocol (LPP) messages may be communicated between a UE with NR wireless access and a location server (e.g. an LMF) in a 5G Core Network via an NG-RAN. The LPP messages may support RAT-independent and E-UTRA position methods by the UE such as A-GNSS or OTDOA for E-UTRA. The location server may obtain OTDOA related information from eNBs and ng-eNBs supporting LTE wireless access. A UE may request measurement gaps from a 5G base station (e.g. gNB) in order to obtain measurements for RAT-independent and E-UTRA position methods and may request an idle period in order to obtain LTE timing needed for E-UTRA measurements.

Claim (Index 1):
A method at a user equipment (UE) of supporting location of the UE with Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) wireless access, the method comprising:\n receiving a first Long Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) message from a location server, wherein the first LPP message comprises a location request and is received via a serving 5G base station; obtaining at least one location measurement based on the first LPP message, wherein the at least one location measurement comprises a measurement for a Radio Access Technology (RAT)-independent position method or a measurement for an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) position method; determining location information based on the at least one location measurement; and sending a second LPP message to the location server, wherein the second LPP message comprises the location information and is sent via the serving 5G base station.
