SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING POSITIONING OF A MOBILE DEVICE USING CHANNEL CONDITIONS

Abstract:

Disclosed are various techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a requesting entity, a request for information relating to a channel condition of the UE. The requesting entity may comprise a base station or a location server, for example. The UE may determine information relating to the channel condition of the UE. The UE may send, to the requesting entity, the information relating to the channel condition of the UE. In some aspects, the UE may receive location assistance data from the requesting entity along with a request to perform a location measurement; the UE may perform the location measurement and send location information to the requesting entity. The location information may comprise a location measurement result, the UE's estimate of its own location, or both.
