Terminal Positioning SIB Validity for Low-Power IoT Updates

The patent applies local quality by providing different positioning information update strategies to different terminal devices based on their specific needs. Terminal devices that are stationary or in stable environments receive updates only when positioning accuracy degrades, while mobile devices receive more frequent updates. This differentiated approach maintains positioning accuracy for each device type without uniformly increasing power consumption across all devices.

The patent implements dynamics by making the positioning information transmission frequency adaptive rather than static. The system dynamically adjusts update intervals based on terminal device mobility status, location stability, and current positioning accuracy requirements. This dynamic adjustment ensures positioning accuracy is maintained while minimizing unnecessary transmissions that would increase power consumption.

The patent applies local quality by customizing positioning information transmission for different terminal devices based on their specific characteristics and requirements. Instead of blanket frequent transmissions to all devices, the system identifies which devices actually need updates and sends information only to those devices at appropriate intervals, thereby maintaining positioning accuracy while reducing overall network overhead.

The patent implements dynamics by making the positioning information transmission system adaptive. The network dynamically determines transmission frequency and targets based on real-time assessment of terminal device mobility, location stability, and positioning accuracy requirements. This dynamic approach ensures positioning accuracy is maintained only where and when needed, minimizing unnecessary network traffic and overhead.

The patent applies local quality by recognizing that low complexity devices have different power consumption characteristics and positioning requirements compared to high-end devices. The system provides these devices with positioning information updates only when necessary for maintaining acceptable positioning accuracy, rather than forcing them to handle frequent updates like more capable devices. This tailored approach allows low complexity devices to maintain sufficient positioning accuracy without exceeding their power consumption limits.

The patent implements dynamics by adapting the positioning information transmission strategy to match the capabilities of different device types. For low complexity devices, the system dynamically reduces update frequency and optimizes transmission timing to minimize power consumption while maintaining acceptable positioning accuracy. This dynamic adaptation ensures that positioning services remain viable for power-constrained devices without requiring them to match the power consumption levels of more capable devices.
