  • Publication number: 20250224521
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to achieve a faster acquisition of its estimated location in an environment with limited satellite access or satellite visibilities. In one aspect, a UE detects that the UE is operating in a specified global navigation satellite system (GNSS) environment. The UE verifies, in response to the detection that the UE is operating in the specified GNSS environment, that a duration between a prior GNSS positioning session and a current GNSS positioning session is less than a time threshold. The UE estimates, based on the duration is less than the time threshold, a current position of the UE based on prior position fix information from the prior GNSS session.
