5G Positioning Information Requests via SIB1 Uplink Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently requesting position-based system information, particularly in 5G networks, which are crucial for providing location-specific services in IoT environments.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for a terminal to request positioning system information by selecting an uplink type and transmission method based on RSRP threshold conditions, using either normal or supplementary uplinks, and transmitting messages through Msg 1 or Msg 3, with configuration information included in System Information Block 1 (SIB1).
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a terminal uses existing methods to request system information in 5G networks, then basic communication functionality is maintained, but position-based system information cannot be efficiently requested, limiting location-specific services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system information request process by introducing separate configuration information for position-based system information requests in SIB1. This allows the terminal to specifically request positioning-related system information through dedicated RRC messages, rather than using generic system information request methods, thereby enabling position-based services while maintaining reliability through structured configuration.
2Productivity
If the terminal requests positioning system information through standard procedures, then general system information is obtained, but position-specific information requests are not optimized, reducing service efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring position-based system information request parameters in SIB1 before the terminal needs to request positioning information. The terminal can directly use these pre-configured parameters to construct positioning information requests, eliminating the need to negotiate parameters during the request process and ensuring complete positioning system information is acquired without loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing system information request methods are used, then communication protocol compatibility is maintained, but position-based service requirements are not met, reducing service functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional system information request mechanism that can handle both general system information requests and position-based system information requests through a unified framework. The same RRC message structures and configuration methods are used for both types of requests, with position-specific parameters added to the existing SIB1 configuration, thereby supporting location-based services without significantly increasing device complexity.
