AI Technical Summary
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in reducing positioning latency and efficiently reporting UE capabilities for accurate 5G-based positioning, particularly in idle/inactive modes, due to the need for transitioning UEs to RRC_CONNECTED mode for capability reporting.
The solution involves directly reporting UE positioning capabilities to the AMF before a location request, allowing the AMF to store these capabilities and forward them to the LMF as needed, thereby bypassing the LPP session and reducing latency by enabling capability reporting in idle/inactive modes without requiring UE transition to RRC_CONNECTED mode.
This approach reduces positioning latency and supports accurate 5G-based positioning by enabling efficient capability reporting directly from UEs to the AMF, facilitating seamless location services even in idle or inactive states.
