Application: Prohibitions related to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) acquisition and reporting for reduced capability devices (Patent ID: US20240103180A1)

The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. describes a system and method for a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) to manage Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) activity based on configured prohibition conditions. The WTRU receives configuration information specifying conditions that prohibit GNSS activities like acquisition, reporting, or assistance information reporting. The WTRU's processor identifies triggers related to GNSS activity, determines if prohibition conditions are active based on timers, validity duration, or WTRU characteristics, and performs GNSS activities only when the prohibition conditions are overridden or terminated.

The WTRU can also monitor trigger conditions when prohibition is active, report GNSS information based on MAC or RRC, delay GNSS activity until conditions are inactive, and stop transmitting data signals for GNSS reception. The method can be implemented in IoT devices or reduced capability devices, providing flexibility and control over GNSS activities based on preset conditions and triggers. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and management of GNSS activities in WTRUs by dynamically adjusting based on configured prohibition conditions and triggers to optimize performance and resource utilization.
