Method and apparatus for measuring a position in a wireless communication network
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.
Network-inferred synchronization for positioning measurements
A wireless network including user equipment (UE) and base stations is configured to perform position determination with low latency and synchronized to a common time within a wireless network. The UE and base stations are configured to perform positioning measurements at a specific time point or within a window around the time point in a measurement period. The time point may be relative to a timing event within the wireless network, such as the beginning or end of a positioning reference signal window or a specific message in a layer 1 or layer 2 transmission. A location server may be provided with the positioning measurements or a position estimate from the UE and provide the position estimate to an external client within the measurement period.
METHOD OF ORGANIZING SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES ON A HIGH SAFETY LEVEL BY RETROFITTING AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT
