Abstract:
In a multi-carrier wireless communication network, positioning-aware switching of a primary carrier from a first carrier to a second carrier for a UE is constrained to enable one or more positioning measurements to be performed. Either the selection of the second carrier, the timing of switching from the first to the second carrier, or both, are constrained to enable and enhance the positioning performance. The constraints may be operative at a serving node of the network, at a UE, or both. Further constraints may be applied to the network to enhance positioning performance. Carrier switching may be across Radio Access Technology (RAT), and the positioning constraints may include configuring or re-configuring a device to perform positioning measurements in measurement gaps (e.g., on a secondary carrier in LTE systems when Positioning Reference Signals are not transmitted on the primary carrier).

Claim (Index 16):
A serving node of a multi-carrier wireless communication network, comprising:\n a transceiver operative to simultaneously transmit to User Equipment (UE) communication signals modulated onto two or more carriers, wherein a first carrier is designated as a primary carrier for a particular UE; and a controller operative to control the transceiver, and further operative to select a second carrier to be the primary carrier for the UE, and to control the transceiver to switch the primary carrier for the UE from the first carrier to the second carrier; wherein the controller is further operative to constrain at least one of the selecting and switching operations so as to enable one or more positioning measurements to be performed.
