A method carried out in a user equipment (1) for generating positioning data for a location server (130) connected through an access network (120), the method comprising: negotiating positioning configuration data with the location server, the positioning configuration data comprising a determined trustworthiness requirement (600, 601) associated with the positioning; and scheduling (603) of a reference signal for positioning in said access network using a positioning technique dependent on Radio Access Technology, RAT; obtaining (604) a positioning request; generating (610), in response to the positioning request, positioning data by using at least one of: said RAT dependent positioning technique, and a RAT independent positioning technique satisfying said trustworthiness requirement.

Provided is a mechanism that enables the balance between the satisfaction of measurement accuracy required for an application and the suppression of power consumption. An information processing apparatus includes a control unit that acquires information indicating required accuracy of measurement information based on a result of detection by a sensor from the application that uses the measurement information, and controls the sensor on the basis of the information indicating the required accuracy.

The embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a positioning method, a device, a server, a storage medium, and a terminal, involving with the field of communication. Firstly, the positioned terminal receives the positioning request sent by the positioning server; then the positioned terminal is triggered to open the positioning module based on the positioning request, and obtains the current position information through the positioning module; the positioned terminal sends the current position information to the positioning terminal; and finally, after the completion of the sending of the current position information, the positioned terminal turns off the positioning module. Since the positioned terminal obtains the current position information through positioning module and sends the information to the positioning terminal only when it receives the positioning request sent by the positioning server and it turns off the positioning module after sending the current position information, the electric quantity consumed by the positioned terminal can be reduced. The save of the electric quantity of the positioning terminal leads to the improvement of the endurance time of the positioned terminal.

Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

The method further includes determining a budget of pings for data transfer by the shipment tracking device, where a ping includes various data collected by a plurality of sensors on the shipment tracking device. The method further includes determining, based on the battery life for the power source and the budget of pings for the data transfer, a transit ping rate for an initial portion of a transit route. The method further includes responsive to receiving a first ping from the shipment tracking device with a first set of the various data, updating the transit ping rate based on the first ping with the first set of data.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for positioning reference signal resource configuration. One method (700) includes receiving (702), at a location server, a discontinuous reception configuration of at least one user equipment. The method (700) includes transmitting (704) a positioning reference signal resource configuration to the at least one user equipment based on the discontinuous reception configuration. The at least one user equipment uses the positioning reference signal resource configuration and the discontinuous reception configuration to perform positioning reference signal measurements.

A method for inferring a status asset information from data of a first type gathered by a first asset tracking device is provided. The method includes determining that a first asset tracking device coupled to a first asset and a second asset tracking device coupled to a second asset are travelling together, that the first asset tracking device has a first operating mode, and that the second asset tracking device has a second operating mode, which is different from the first operating mode of the first asset tracking device. In response, the second asset tracking device enters into a low-power mode in which it either does not gather data of the first type or does so at a reduced rate. Status information related to the second asset may be inferred from data of the first type gathered by the first asset tracking device.

Systems and methods for improved geolocation in a low power wide area network are disclosed. One example method may include receiving an instruction to determine a geolocation of an end in a low power wide area network. An instruction may be transmitted to the end node for the end node to transmit a high-energy geolocation signal at a power of about 0.5 Watt to about 1 Watt. The end node may transmit the high-energy geolocation signal and a plurality of gateways of the low power wide area network may receive the high-energy geolocation signal. A plurality of receipt times may be identified. Each receipt time may be indicative of the time at which the high-energy geolocation signal was received by the respective gateway of the plurality of gateways. Based at least in part on the plurality of receipt times, a geolocation of the end node may be determined.

A processor enabled method in a mobile device includes configuring a WiFi radio controller of the mobile device with a WiFi service set identifier of a search detector and configuring a Bluetooth connection configuration of a search detector. The method also includes responsive to a rescue trigger, enabling the device to exit a low power mode while awaiting a connection attempt from a Bluetooth radio via the configured Bluetooth connection configuration. The method also includes upon receiving the connection attempt, powering up the WiFi radio and attempting to connect to the configured WiFi service set identifier.
