Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for determining a location of a user equipment (UE) communicating over a shared communication medium in unlicensed spectrum. In an aspect, the UE receives a unique or distinct positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration for each of a plurality of secondary cells, where each PRS configuration includes a common set of positioning occasions and where the plurality of secondary cells are in contention for the common set of positioning occasions. The UE attempts to measure a PRS for each of the PRS configurations in each positioning occasion and typically measures a PRS for just one PRS configuration in each positioning occasion due to the contention for positioning occasions. The UE reports the PRS measurements and the identities of the measured PRS configurations to a location server which uses the reported data to determine a location for the UE.

Claim (Index 39):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for assisting a position determination of a user equipment (UE) communicating over a shared communication medium in unlicensed spectrum, the computer-executable instructions comprising:\n at least one instruction instructing the UE to receive positioning assistance data, the positioning assistance data comprising a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) configurations for a plurality of secondary cells having overlapping coverage areas, each of the plurality of secondary cells having a different PRS configuration of the plurality of PRS configurations, wherein each PRS configuration of the plurality of PRS configurations includes a common set of positioning occasions, and wherein the plurality of secondary cells are in contention for the common set of positioning occasions; at least one instruction instructing the UE to measure, at a first positioning occasion of the common set of positioning occasions, a first PRS from a first evolved NodeB (eNB) for a first secondary cell of the plurality of secondary cells, wherein the first eNB transmits the first PRS on the shared communication medium, and wherein the first PRS is configured according to a first PRS configuration of the plurality of PRS configurations; at least one instruction instructing the UE to measure, at a second positioning occasion of the common set of positioning occasions, a second PRS from a second eNB for a second secondary cell of the plurality of secondary cells, wherein the second eNB transmits the second PRS on the shared communication medium, and wherein the second PRS is configured according to a second PRS configuration of the plurality of PRS configurations; and at least one instruction instructing the UE to send the measurement of the first PRS, the measurement of the second PRS, an identification of the first PRS configuration, and an identification of the second PRS configuration to a location server.
