Abstract: Idle discontinuous reception (I-DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) may be extended via leveraging of paging assistance from a second UE. For example, a low complexity UE may have a connection to a network (e.g., via a link to a base station) as well as a connection to another UE (e.g., via a device-to-device link to a regular UE). In cases where such a low complexity UE receives paging messages from the network, a UE associated with a device-to-device link of the low complexity UE may monitor paging messages on behalf of the low complexity UE. As such, the low complexity UE may extend its I-DRX cycle, as the assisting UE monitors paging information for the low complexity UE. The assisting UE may forward paging information for the low complexity UE according to paging occasions of the extended I-DRX cycle of the low complexity UE.

Abstract: An indoor positioning method includes judging whether a positioning terminal enters a coverage range of a virtual beacon. If yes, judging whether a distance between the positioning terminal and the virtual beacon gradually decreases to obtain a judgement result, according to the judgement result, adjusting the step size of a PDR positioning algorithm. When the distance gradually decreases, the step size of the PDR positioning algorithm is decreased, and when the distance gradually increases, the step size of the PDR positioning algorithm is increased. The positioning terminal is then positioned by a PDR positioning algorithm with the step size adjusted to obtain a positioning result. If not, the positioning terminal is positioned by a PDR positioning algorithm with the step size not adjusted to obtain a positioning result. According to the present invention positioning can be more accurate by adaptively adjusting the step size in the PDR positioning algorithm.
