AUTONOMOUS MUTING INDICATION TO ENABLE IMPROVED TIME DIFFERENCE OF ARRIVAL MEASUREMENTS

摘要

A method, user communication device, and a base station are disclosed. A transceiver 302 may receive a serving transmission from a serving base station. A processor 304 may make a status determination of an autonomous muting status of a neighbor base station based on the serving transmission.

主权项

1. A method for measuring a time difference of arrival measurement in a mobile network, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a serving transmission from a serving base station; and making, by the one or more processors, a status determination of an autonomous muting status of a neighbor base station based on the serving transmission; and applying, by the one or more processors, a muting threshold test to a neighbor base station reading when the autonomous muting status is active; and upon passing the muting threshold test, combining, by the one or more processors, the neighbor base station into a position measurement.
