For improved messaging reliability in 5G and 6G, mobile users and their base stations can adjust their transmission power according to the current location of the mobile user. Each entity can maintain a map of known attenuation values, including “dead zones”, and can adjust their transmission power and/or reception gain to compensate. Instead of constantly exchanging location-update messages, the users can indicate their speed and direction, and the base station (or other users) can extrapolate the location versus time to determine a future location, and thereby determine the attenuation factor at the new position. In addition, the base station can use a map to follow the mobile user device's progress, and can thereby update the attenuation factor in real-time. If the mobile user makes a change, it can inform the base station at that time, or during initial access. Result: improved reliability, lower energy consumption, improved traffic safety.

A location system provides a location service for determining a location of a mobile device. A node of the location system comprises: a signal processing module, and a wireless interface which communicates wirelessly according to a standardized wireless networking protocol. The protocol defines a request message for sending a request from the mobile device to the node, the request message having a network ID field for specifying a network to which the request is directed. The wireless interface receives, from the mobile device, an instance of the request message including an ID of the location service, this being carried in the network ID field. The signal processing module detects the ID of the location service in this field, and in response captures a measurement of the received instance of the request, for use in determining the location of the mobile device in conjunction with measurements from other nodes.

A facility for testing location determination for emergency calls is described. Software on a mobile device collects a GPS location from the mobile device, and places an emergency call that encloses information usable by the emergency call processing system to calculate mobile device location. After the system performs this calculation, the call is detected to be a testing call and routed to a computer rather than an emergency dispatcher. The computer sends an SMS or other non-telephony message to the mobile device containing the calculated location. The mobile device stores the collected GPS location and the calculated location received in the non-telephony message together for comparison.

A method for position determining includes: sending a first ranging request to a base station, wherein the first ranging request carries an identifier associated with a second UE, in which the first ranging request is at least associated with ranging between the base station and the second UE; and receiving first range information associated with the first range request from the base station.

5G and especially 6G are intended to accommodate high-speed mobile user devices and access points such as wireless devices on trains and airplanes, while retaining enhanced mobile broadband eMBB service. Therefore, new resource-efficient, low-complexity procedures are needed for measuring and correcting the Doppler frequency shift. To assist user devices, a base station or access point can periodically broadcast a current geographical location of the base station or access point in a localization message. In some embodiments, the geographical location data can be included in a periodically broadcast system information message, such as unused space of a SSB (synchronization signal block) message or an SIB1 (first system information block) message. User devices can then determine a vector toward the base station or access point relative to the user device location and velocity, and thereby calculate a Doppler correction without a frequency scan or other overhead, according to some embodiments.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to positioning target device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the location of the target device is measured by two anchor devices. The distances between the target device at a location and the anchor devices are measured and the distances between the target device at a further location and the anchor devices are also measured. The location of the target device is estimated based on the distances. In this way, fewer anchor devices are used to perform the positioning.
