Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices related to data transmission and management for positioning User Equipment (UE) in a network are described. In one representative aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving, at a wireless communication node, a first paging message from a network node, wherein the first paging message includes information that facilitate positioning a mobile device in a wireless network. The method also includes transmitting, from the wireless communication node, a second paging message to the mobile device, wherein the second paging message includes the information that facilitate positioning the mobile device in the first paging message.

Claims (19)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, at a wireless communication node, a first paging message from a network node, wherein the first paging message includes information that facilitates positioning a mobile device in a wireless network, the information comprising an indicator indicating whether a change of assistance data for one or more cells has occurred; and

transmitting, from the wireless communication node, a second paging message to the mobile device, wherein the second paging message includes the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the first paging message, and

wherein the second paging message includes additional information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network, the additional information comprising an indicator indicating an early data transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network further comprises at least one of: a request for location information, or a subset of assistance data for one or more cells.

3. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, at a mobile device from a wireless communication node, a paging message including information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in a wireless network, the information comprising an indicator indicating whether a change of assistance data for one or more cells has occurred, the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network further comprises at least one of: a request for location information, a subset of assistance data for one or more cells, or an indicator indicating an early data transmission; and

reporting, by the mobile device, positioning measurements to a network node in response to the paging message.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

requesting, by the mobile device, assistance data for positioning the mobile device in the wireless network from the network node in case the indicator indicating a change of assistance data has occurred.

5. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor and a memory including processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code upon execution by the processor configures the processor to:

receive a first paging message from a network node, wherein the first paging message includes information that facilitates positioning a mobile device in a wireless network, the information comprising an indicator indicating whether a change of assistance data for one or more cells has occurred; and

transmit a second paging message to the mobile device, wherein the second paging message includes the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the first paging message, wherein the second paging message includes additional information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network, the additional information comprising an indicator indicating an early data transmission.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network further comprises at least one of: a request for location information, or a subset of assistance data for one or more cells.

7. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor and a memory including processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code upon execution by the processor configures the processor to:

receive, from a wireless communication node, a paging message that includes information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in a wireless network, the information comprising an indicator indicating whether a change of assistance data for one or more cells has occurred, wherein the information that facilitates positioning the mobile device in the wireless network further comprises at least one of: a request for location information, a subset of assistance data for one or more cells, or an indicator indicating an early data transmission; and

reporting positioning measurements to a network node in response to the paging message.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:

request assistance data for positioning the mobile device in the wireless network from the network node in case the indicator indicating a change of assistance data has occurred.
