The processing circuit determines a position of the positioning signal receiver according to the distances and the positions of the positioning signal transmitters.

Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to crowdsource the location of wireless devices and accessories that lack a connection to a wide area network. One embodiment provides for a data processing system configured to perform operations comprising loading a user interface on an electronic device, the user interface to enable the determination of a location of a wireless accessory that is associated with the electronic device, generating a set of public keys included within a signal broadcast by the wireless accessory, the signal broadcast during a first period, sending the set of public keys to a server with a request to return data that corresponds with a public key in the set of public keys, decrypting the location data using a private key associated with the public key, and processing the location data to determine a probable location for the wireless accessory.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the introduction cost of an indoor positioning system using inaudible sound. A positioning system according to one embodiment includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a positioning unit. The first acquisition unit acquires a reception log indicating that a fixed receiver receives signal source-specific inaudible sounds from multiple signal sources. The second acquisition unit acquires, from a storage unit, signal source information on multiple signal sources corresponding to a fixed receiver installed near a mobile terminal. Here, the signal source information contains information for identifying a signal source from inaudible sound, the transmission timing of inaudible sound at the signal source, and the location of the signal source.

A mobile station (MS), a base station subsystem (BSS), and various methods are described herein that enable a positioning node (e.g., Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC)) to improve the accuracy of estimating a position of the mobile station.

A method and an apparatus of measuring a position of user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network are provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration information including information about at least one PRS resource set including at least one PRS resource for receiving a PRS, receiving, from the base station, the PRS based on the PRS configuration information, and performing position measurement of the UE based on the received PRS.

A method for position determination based on carrier-phase measurements is disclosed. The method comprises receiving one or more downlink signals transmitted from a base station (BS) during a downlink period, wherein the downlink signals are modulated using a downlink carrier wave, measuring, during the downlink period, a first carrier phase associated with the downlink carrier wave, estimating, during an uplink period subsequent to the downlink period, an integer ambiguity (IA) change, and measuring, during a later downlink period subsequent to the uplink period, a second carrier phase based on the resolved first carrier phase and the estimated IA change.

An apparatus has circuitry which determines a location of a user, based on sound data representing speech of the user, and identifies the user based on the determined location of the user and user identification information and location information received from a mobile device.

Methods and apparatus for supporting reference signals are disclosed. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured to receive a reference signal of a first type. The first type is other than a cell specific reference signal (CRS), an Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) reference signal or a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS). Reference signals of the first type are received in resource elements other than resource elements used for a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a primary synchronization signal or a secondary synchronization signal. The WTRU is configured to receive a radio resource control message indicating a subframe position in which the reference signal of the first type is transmitted and a periodicity of a transmission of the reference signal of the first type, and a number of antenna ports for a transmission of the reference signal of the first type.
