The present embodiments relate to a method and device for obtaining location information of a terminal by using a wireless communication system. Provided according to an embodiment is a device for acquiring the location information of a terminal, the device comprising at least one downlink signal receiver, at least one uplink signal receiver, and a controller for controlling the downlink signal receiver and uplink signal receiver, wherein the controller configures uplink resource assignment information on the basis of control information received by the downlink signal receiver and determines whether an uplink signal is received, on the basis of the uplink resource allocation information.

Location positioning methods, devices, systems, and computer-readable mediums are provided. One of the methods includes: receiving a vehicle identification and location information from at least one client terminal; and determining a location of a target vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification according to the location information. The determining the location of the target vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification according to the location information comprises: determining location information corresponding to the vehicle identification of the target vehicle received from the at least one client terminal within a set time period; determining a number of occurrences of each piece of the determined location information; and determining the location of the target vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification according to a piece of the determined location information with a number of occurrences larger than a set threshold.

Proposed are an apparatus and a method for estimating the position of a target terminal within a mobile communication system. In general, a mobile communication system is composed of a base station and terminals. In the present invention, one or more positioning devices are placed around a target terminal required to be positioned to measure a transmission signal of the target terminal, and accurately measures the position of the target terminal on the basis of the transmission signal. In the above process, the base station should connect a communication channel with the terminal for positioning of the terminal, and a method therefor is proposed. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for setting a terminal in a standby state to transmit an uplink signal. In addition, an operation and a protocol for positioning the target terminal are proposed.

Systems and methods for facilitating the sorting of assets to sort locations. In various embodiments, a sort employee scans an asset indicia using a user device, which stores asset data corresponding to the stored asset. As the sort employee nears a sort location (e.g., a delivery vehicle) with the asset and the user device, the user device automatically communicates wirelessly with a sort location receiver to associate the asset data with data indicative of the sort location where the user deposits the asset. In various embodiments, a device may determine whether the user device is proximate the appropriate sort location for the item, and may generate an alert upon a determination that the user device is proximate an incorrect sort location.

A solution for providing differentiated positioning services in a wireless communication system is provided. For example, a method to be performed by a wireless device is provided, which includes requesting a high accuracy positioning information from the network, e.g. from a network node. The method further includes obtaining information from the network in response to the request, which is valid for a predefined period of time, and which enables the wireless device to obtain the high accuracy positioning information during the predefined period of time. The method further includes performing positioning or assisting performance of positioning based on the obtained high accuracy positioning information.

The system (10) of FIG. 1 uses fixedly-located master and slave smartphone devices (12, 14) to determine a player position of a player (20) within playing arena, such as a tennis court. The master device (12) makes a local determination of the speed of sound using an audible ping to the slave device displaced from the master device by a known distance. The slave device (14) also responds with a time stamp associated with the receipt of one or more pings. Correlation over successive RF-reported time stamps allows the master device (12) to assess, relative to its own internal reference clock, a time offset and drift for a local clock in the slave device (14). A RF connection to a communications circuit and sensor (18) arrangement located in a racket held by a player permits the master device (12) to assess a time offset and drift for a local clock associated with the sensor. The sensor (18) further includes a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer that cooperate to record movement or orientation of the racket, and which information is uplink reported over the RF connection to the master device. When an amplitude or modelled sound profile for a hit event (24) is detected by both the master and slave devices (12, 14) and the hit event time-stamped by the devices in the system and reported to the master by the communications circuits of the racket and slave units, the master unit is able to triangulate the position of the hit event relative to known dimensions of the playing arena. Continuous reporting of movement of the racket relative to the previous hit event can therefore be displayed to show movement of the player around the court relative to detected sound events.
