Abstract: A gateway mobile location center (GMLC) receives, from a location services (LCS) client, a request for a capability of a positioning service level for a wireless device. The GMLC receives, from a network function, a second message indicating at least one of a positioning capability of the wireless device and a positioning capability of at least one base station. The GMLC determines the capability of the positioning service level for the wireless device, based on the second message. The GMLC sends, to the LCS client, a response comprising the capability of the positioning service level.

Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently and accurately access previously stored maps and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. Both stored maps and tracking maps used by portable devices may have wireless fingerprints associated with them. The portable devices may maintain wireless fingerprints based on wireless scans performed repetitively, based on one or more trigger conditions, as the devices move around the physical world. The wireless information obtained from these scans may be used to create or update wireless fingerprints associated with locations in a tracking map on the devices. One or more of these wireless fingerprints may be used when a previously stored map is to be selected based on its coverage of an area in which the portable device is operating. Maintaining wireless fingerprints in this way provides a reliable and low latency mechanism for performing map-related operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing timely location estimates when a user equipment initiates a call to an emergency number are disclosed. The system enables a user equipment and network nodes (e.g., eSMLC/LMF) to send multiple location responses instead of just one so that the PSAP can benefit from accurate location techniques in a timely manner. For example, when a user equipment is located in an outdoor environment, it can immediately send its A-GNSS location after meeting quality-of-service (QoS) criteria, and the eSMLC/LMF can forward the location estimate to the PSAP immediately without first waiting for all of the other location estimates. When location estimates become available from other technologies (e.g., E-CID, or DBH, or both), the eSMLC/LMF can send to the PSAP another location response for that technology. As a result, the PSAP can always have the most accurate and up-to-date location information available to timely and accurately respond to emergency calls.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may identify that an emergency call is being initiated and send further messages including the location of the UE.

Abstract: There is described a floor selection system for location tracking within a structure. A communication component receives sensor data, associated with a beacon received from a tag, from sensors. A processor identifies features based on the sensor data, identifies decision tree stumps arranged in a particular order, assigns weights to the decision tree stumps based on the features and the feature thresholds. The processor further determines whether an aggregate of the weights is greater than a resultant threshold and selects a floor location of the tag based on whether the aggregate of weights is greater than the resultant threshold. The floor location is selected from floor locations of the structure proximal to the sensors.

Accordingly, the UE may then transmit a report containing the quantized OTDOA to a network entity, which may correspond to one or more of the network nodes from which the positioning beacons were received (e.g., a serving base station) or a location server.

Abstract: The method of performing dendrometry and forest mapping utilizes a stereoscopic camera system, coupled with a machine vision system, to determine the diameters at breast height of selected trees in a forest, based solely on calculations performed from recorded digital image data, as well as to generate a map showing the coordinates and calculated diameters of the selected trees in the forest. A ground plane is first determined, and then bounding box coordinates are generated about selected tree stems of the recorded images. The bounding boxes are evolved to determine stem edges of the selected tree stems, and the diameter of each tree at breast height is then determined. Geographic location data is acquired for each tree, allowing a map to be generated which shows the location of each selected tree, along with a tag representative of geolocation data and corresponding diameter data.
