On-Demand PRS Configuration for UE Positioning Requirements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current 3GPP Rel-17 positioning systems lack mechanisms for the location server (LMF) to understand UE positioning requirements, leading to misalignment between pre-defined PRS configurations and UE capabilities, limiting the effectiveness of UE-initiated on-demand PRS requests.
Innovation Solution
Implementing network-aware UE-initiated on-demand PRS mechanisms that allow UEs to explicitly indicate their positioning requirements and support for specific PRS parameters, enabling subsequent requests if initial configurations are insufficient, and providing network deployment-specific maximum supported configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional call centers use manual processes and multiple separate systems for different functions, then employees can handle various tasks, but the system complexity increases and employee training time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate call center functions (voice calls, text messages, social media interactions, customer data management, analytics) into a single integrated platform. This unified system allows employees to access and manage all customer interactions through one interface, reducing the need to switch between multiple systems and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated call center system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple types of customer interactions (voice, text, social media) and perform various functions (customer service, sales, support, analytics) within a single system. This multi-functional approach allows employees to perform diverse tasks without requiring separate specialized systems for each function.
2Productivity
If traditional call centers use multiple separate systems for different functions, then specific tasks can be performed, but onboarding new employees takes weeks of training
Solution Approach 1:
By merging all call center functions into one integrated system with a unified interface, new employees only need to learn one system rather than multiple separate systems. This significantly reduces training time from weeks to days while maintaining the ability to perform all necessary tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates AI-driven features including virtual assistants and automated routing that can handle routine tasks and guide employees through processes. This self-service capability reduces the training burden on new employees by providing automated support and guidance within the system itself.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional call centers implement omnichannel capabilities with separate systems, then customer interaction channels increase, but system integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates support for multiple customer interaction channels (voice calls, text messages, social media platforms) into a single unified system. This approach provides true omnichannel capability where all channels are managed through one platform rather than requiring separate systems for each channel, thereby reducing integration complexity while maintaining channel variety.
4Stability of the object's composition
If traditional call centers use legacy systems, then existing operations can be maintained, but real-time data access and analytics capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a modern cloud-based architecture that fundamentally changes system parameters including data storage (cloud vs. on-premise), data access (real-time vs. batch processing), and computational capabilities. This allows for real-time access to customer data across all channels while maintaining operational stability through proven cloud infrastructure and data security measures.

AI summary
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for dynamic delivery of on-demand PRS configurations. One method (1200) includes transmitting (1205) an indication of a need for an on-demand PRS and receiving (1210) a pre-defined set of on-demand PRS configurations. The method (1200) includes determining (1215) whether the pre-defined set of on-demand PRS configurations meets a set of positioning requirements of the apparatus and transmitting (1220) a first additional on-demand PRS request based on the pre-defined set of on-demand PRS configurations failing to meet one or more positioning requirements. The method (1200) includes receiving (1225) a set of on-demand PRS configuration parameters that meet the one or more positioning requirements.
