To provide a positioning apparatus which can reduce the error of the positioning information of the positioning satellite, by using either appropriate one of the positioning reinforcement information by the ground channel or the positioning reinforcement information by the satellite channel, according to execution state of the automatic driving. A positioning apparatus receives positioning information from positioning satellites; calculates a first own position based on the positioning information and the positioning reinforcement information of the ground base station; calculates a second own position based on the positioning information and the positioning reinforcement information of the satellite; determines either the first own position or the second own position to be used, based on whether or not the driving mode is the automatic driving mode; and outputs the first own position or the second own position determined to be used, as a final own position.

The present disclosure relates to service satellite running status diagnosis methods and apparatuses. In one example method, a ground user terminal detects attribute information of a service beam, where the service beam is transmitted by a service satellite. If the attribute information of the service beam is abnormal, the ground user terminal generates an evaluation report of the service beam, and sends the evaluation report to a satellite controller. The satellite controller receives a plurality of evaluation reports sent by a plurality of ground user terminals, and generates a diagnosis report of the service beam based on the plurality of evaluation reports.

A positioning method includes receiving, by an electronic device, a first satellite signal using a first antenna, and obtaining, by the electronic device, a first signal quality of the first satellite signal. When the electronic device is in a landscape posture, receiving, by the electronic device, a second satellite signal using a second antenna; and obtaining, by the electronic device, a second signal quality of the second satellite signal. If the first signal quality is lower than the second signal quality, performing, by the electronic device, positioning using the second antenna. If the first signal quality is higher than the second signal quality, performing, by the electronic device, positioning using the first antenna.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to route navigation and tracking systems, and methods thereof, and more particularly, to method and system for managing adaptive, dynamic, domain and platform-agnostic navigation and tracking of portable computing and communications devices, thereby facilitating generation of at least one of contextual, configurable notifications, and combinations thereof, for instance at least one of adaptively and dynamically configurable contextual notifications as well as alerts.

In an embodiment, a UE receives a first uplink grant for a first RAT (e.g., 5G NR) and a second uplink grant for a second RAT (e.g., LTE). In one embodiment, the UE schedules an uplink transmission on the first RAT (e.g., by selectively dropping the uplink transmission on particular resource blocks) so as to manage an amount of time that is based on concurrent uplink transmissions on both the first and second RATs are performed. In another embodiment, the UE establishes a first period of time where a BSR transmitted by the UE on the first RAT is adjusted based on scheduling of concurrent uplink multi-RAT transmissions, and a second period of time where no BSR is transmitted by the UE on the first RAT based where concurrent uplink transmissions on both the first and second RATs are not permitted to be scheduled.

A method in a communication device for providing a location information of the communication device to a Minimization of Driving Tests, MDT, server is disclosed. The communication device operates in a wireless communication environment which comprises multiple networks comprising at least one cellular network and at least one satellite positioning system. The communication device starts an MDT measurement and determines a signal strength received from a satellite in the satellite positioning system by measuring the signal strength at a positioning antenna. When the signal strength received from the satellite is above a threshold, the communication device 110 determines a feasibility of an Assisted Global Position System, AGPS. When the AGPS is feasible, the communication device initiates an AGPS session for obtaining the location information using an acquisition assistance data and sends the location information together with other MDT data to the MDT server.
