V2X Terminal Positioning via Neighboring Cell Assistance

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring positioning assistance information including neighboring cell IDs, frequency bands, and static UE locations before positioning measurement. This allows the terminal to perform measurements more efficiently with higher precision without significantly increasing process complexity, as the preparatory work is done in advance by the network side.

The patent introduces positioning assistance information as an intermediary element that mediates between the terminal and the positioning objects (cells and static UEs). This intermediary contains pre-processed configuration data that simplifies the terminal's measurement process while enabling precise positioning through reference to multiple neighboring cells and static UEs.

The patent extracts only the essential positioning configuration information needed for cross-operator compatibility, such as neighboring cell IDs, frequency bands, and static UE locations, rather than transmitting complete configuration sets. This selective extraction maintains adaptability across different operators while reducing the overall information transmission volume.

The patent applies partial action by including positioning configuration information for a selective subset of neighboring cells and static UEs that are most relevant for positioning accuracy and cross-operator compatibility. This partial inclusion achieves the necessary adaptability without the overhead of transmitting complete configuration data for all possible neighbors.
