Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to a bidirectional location measurement report (LMR) feedback. A responding device may determine a first location measurement report (LMR) feedback type of an initiating device. The responding device may determine a second LMR feedback type of the responding device. The responding device may determine a common availability window, defined by a common start time and a common end time, for an exchange of a first LMR and a second LMR, wherein the common availability window is based on the first LMR feedback type and on the second LMR feedback type. The responding device may cause to send the first LMR to the initiating device during the common availability window. The responding device may identify the second LMR received from the initiating device during the common availability window.

Claims (53)

1. A responding device, the responding device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:

determine a first location measurement report (LMR), wherein the first LMR comprises a first feedback type of an initiating device;

determine a second LMR, wherein the second LMR comprises a second feedback type of the responding device;

determine a common availability window, defined by a common start time and a common end time, for an exchange of a first LMR and a second LMR, wherein the common availability window is based on the first feedback type and on the second feedback type;

send the first LMR to the initiating device during the common availability window; and

identify the second LMR received from the initiating device during the common availability window.

2. The responding device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine that the first LMR feedback type is delayed feedback;

identify an indication of a first availability window of the initiating device received from the initiating device, wherein the first availability window is defined by a first start time and a first end time;

determine that the second LMR feedback type is delayed feedback; and

determine a second availability window of the responding device, wherein the second availability window is defined by a second start time and a second end time.

3. The responding device of claim 2 , wherein the common availability window is determined based on the first availability window and on the second availability window.

4. The responding device of claim 1 , wherein to determine the common availability window, the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine a minimum length of the common availability window; and

determine the common end time based on the minimum length of the common availability window.

5. The responding device of claim 1 , wherein the first LMR and the second LMR are exchanged during a first measurement sequence, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

identify an indication of an interval between the first measurement sequence and a second measurement sequence received from the initiating device, wherein the interval is within the common availability window.

6. The responding device of claim 1 , wherein an indication of the common availability window is exchanged during a negotiation phase between the initiating device and the responding device.

7. The responding device of claim 2 , wherein the indication of the first availability window is exchanged during a negotiation phase between the initiating device and the responding device.

8. The responding device of claim 1 , wherein the common availability window is determined based on information included in an indication of the first LMR feedback type and an indication of the second LMR feedback type.

9. The responding device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.

10. The responding device of claim 9 , further comprising an antenna coupled to the transceiver.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a responding device result in performing operations comprising:

determining a first location measurement report (LMR), wherein the first LMR comprises a first feedback type of an initiating device;

determining a second LMR, wherein the second LMR comprises a second feedback type of the responding device;

determining a common availability window, defined by a common start time and a common end time, for an exchange of a first LMR and a second LMR, wherein the common availability window is based on the first feedback type and on the second feedback type;

sending the first LMR to the initiating device during the common availability window; and

identifying the second LMR received from the initiating device during the common availability window.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining that the first LMR feedback type is delayed feedback;

identifying an indication of a first availability window of the initiating device received from the initiating device, wherein the first availability window is defined by a first start time and a first end time;

determining that the second LMR feedback type is delayed feedback; and

determining a second availability window of the responding device, wherein the second availability window is defined by a second start time and a second end time.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the common availability window is determined based on the first availability window and on the second availability window.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein to determine the common availability window, the operations further comprise:

determining a minimum length of the common availability window; and

determining the common end time based on the minimum length of the common availability window.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the first LMR and the second LMR are exchanged during a first measurement sequence, and wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying an indication of an interval between the first measurement sequence and a second measurement sequence received from the initiating device, wherein the interval is within the common availability window.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein an indication of the common availability window is exchanged during a negotiation phase between the initiating device and the responding device.

17. A method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors of a responding device, a first location measurement report (LMR), wherein the first LMR comprises a first feedback type of an initiating device;

determining, by the one or more processors, a second LMR, wherein the second LMR comprises a second feedback type of the responding device;

determining, by the one or more processors, a common availability window, defined by a common start time and a common end time, for an exchange of a first LMR and a second LMR, wherein the common availability window is based on the first feedback type and on the second feedback type;

sending, by the one or more processors, the first LMR to the initiating device during the common availability window; and

identifying, by the one or more processors, the second LMR received from the initiating device during the common availability window.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the one or more processors, that the first LMR feedback type is delayed feedback;

identifying, by the one or more processors, an indication of a first availability window of the initiating device received from the initiating device, wherein the first availability window is defined by a first start time and a first end time;

determining, by the one or more processors, that the second LMR feedback type is delayed feedback; and

determining, by the one or more processors, a second availability window of the responding device, wherein the second availability window is defined by a second start time and a second end time.
