  • Patent number: 10897686
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a given entity obtains a location of at least one terrestrial transmit station of a Synchronized Wireless Transmission Network (SWTN), transmit station calibration information associated with the at least one terrestrial transmit station and a location of a user equipment (UE) that is in wireless communication range with the at least one terrestrial transmit station. The given entity estimates the time calibration value for the UE based on the obtained transmit station location, the determined transmit station calibration information and the determined location of the UE. In another embodiment, a server obtains time calibration values that are estimated for each UE in the population of UEs. The server aggregates the estimated time calibration values based on device model and/or device operation mode, and calculates a representative time calibration value for UEs sharing the device model and/or device operation mode.

  • Patent number: 10327218
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments facilitate combining a plurality of wireless signal measurement sets with displacement measurements within some time interval of a position request to determine a User Equipment (UE) position. A first set of wireless signal measurements may be obtained from a first set of base stations at a first time at a first location. Subsequently, a second set of wireless signal measurements from a second set of base stations may be obtained at a second time at a second location distinct from the first location. A displacement measurement (e.g. a displacement vector) between the first location and the second location may be obtained. The position of the UE at the second location may then be determined based on the first and second sets of wireless signal measurements and the displacement measurement. In some embodiments, the first and second sets of wireless signal measurements may each be deficient measurement sets.
