UE Parameter Configuration for Ranging and Sidelink Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in obtaining authorization and policy parameters for ranging and sidelink positioning services within and beyond 5G network coverage areas, particularly for user equipment (UE), as existing methods do not effectively address how UE can obtain these parameters to perform such services.
Innovation Solution
UE sends target information to a network side device requesting parameters for ranging and/or sidelink positioning, which includes capability and policy information, and the network side device determines and sends back the necessary parameters, enabling UE to perform these services.

1Adaptability or versatility
If authorization and policy parameters are configured for UE to support ranging and sidelink positioning services, then the UE can be authorized and execute these services, but the problem arises of how UE can obtain these parameters before or when requiring to execute the services
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device pre-configures authorization and policy parameters for the UE before the UE actually needs to execute ranging or sidelink positioning services. This preliminary configuration ensures that when the UE needs to perform these services, the necessary parameters are already available, eliminating the acquisition delay and simplifying the operation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The network side device acts as an intermediary between the service authorization system and the UE. It receives service requests from the UE, retrieves the appropriate authorization and policy parameters, and delivers them to the UE. This intermediary role simplifies the UE's operation by handling the complex parameter acquisition process automatically.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of parameters (authorization parameters, policy parameters, QoS parameters, etc.) are provided for ranging and sidelink positioning, then comprehensive service support is achieved, but the complexity of parameter management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of parameters (authorization parameters, policy parameters, QoS parameters, and other service parameters) into a unified parameter set that is transmitted together from the network side device to the UE. This merging approach maintains comprehensive service support while reducing the complexity of separate parameter management by handling all parameters through a single configuration process.
Solution Approach 2:
The network side device implements a universal parameter configuration mechanism that handles multiple types of parameters through a single interface and process. This multi-functional approach allows the system to manage authorization, policy, QoS, and other parameters uniformly, reducing management complexity while maintaining complete service support.

AI summary
A parameter configuration method includes a UE sends target information to a network side device, where the target information is used to request for a target parameter for ranging and/or sidelink positioning. The target information includes at least one of the following capability information of the UE about supporting ranging, capability information of the UE about supporting sidelink positioning, request information for a ranging policy, or request information for a sidelink positioning policy. The UE receives the target parameter sent by the network side device.
