Application: Location assistance data associated with aerial user equipment (Patent ID: US20240201309A1)

Qualcomm Inc. has filed a patent for techniques in wireless communication involving aerial user equipment (UE) capable of flight. The method includes transmitting a message from the UE to a location server, indicating its aerial configuration, and receiving assistance data based on this information. The assistance data may include details on base stations angled upwards for in-flight communication and omitting intervening base stations closer to the UE.

The patent also covers the operation of the location server, which receives the message from the UE, selects assistance data accordingly, and transmits it back to the UE. The information in the message can include flight path details, altitude, and trajectory of the aerial UE. Additionally, the location server may request capabilities from the UE, ensuring efficient communication between the aerial UE and the network. Overall, the patent focuses on optimizing wireless communication for aerial UEs by providing tailored assistance data based on their flight capabilities and status.
