Terminal Location Reporting for Cellular Sensing Target Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cellular networks, the location of a terminal device cannot be determined by a sensing control network element when it exists in the sensing receive and transmit devices, preventing the acquisition of sensing information for the sensing target.
Innovation Solution
A first terminal device provides information for determining its own location, which is used to determine the location of a sensing target, through methods such as transmitting a sensing signal or receiving an echo signal, enabling the first device to acquire the terminal device's location and facilitate sensing information acquisition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a terminal device is used as sensing receive or transmit device, then sensing coverage and flexibility are improved, but the sensing control network element cannot acquire the terminal device's location, preventing sensing information acquisition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a location information acquisition module as an intermediary between the terminal device and the sensing control network element. This module receives location information from the terminal device and forwards it to the sensing control network element, enabling the network element to acquire location information without directly obtaining it from the terminal device.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device is configured to self-report its location information to the sensing control network element through the location information acquisition module. This self-service mechanism allows the terminal device to actively provide the information needed, rather than requiring the network element to extract or infer it passively.
2Measurement precision
If the sensing control network element directly determines target location using sensing devices, then measurement precision is improved, but the system fails when terminal devices are involved as sensing devices
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing control network element is designed with multi-functionality to handle both traditional sensing devices and terminal devices as sensing devices. By incorporating the location information acquisition module, the network element can universally manage different types of sensing devices while maintaining measurement precision and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary acquisition of location information from terminal devices before the sensing control network element needs to determine target location. This preliminary action ensures that location information is already available when needed, preventing failures and maintaining reliability in the sensing process.
