Filed:

Nov 2, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/592462

Inventors:

Michelle H. Xiong - Vernon Hills IL, US
Ping Wu - Hoffman Estates IL, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4554566, 4555501

Abstract:

A communications device () for a 3G network () includes a user equipment (UE) processor () able to determine a standalone location based on a Standalone Position Method type or standalone position method transmitted in a radio resource control (RRC) measurement control message. The 3G network () may command the UE processor () to use a standalone positioning method by transmitting a standalone position method type or standalone position method command to the communications device (). The UE processor () determines the standalone location using an internal positioning module () such as an embedded GPS chipset, or an external positioning module (), such as a Bluetooth accessory.

Abstract:

A wireless device () for scheduling a forward access channel measurement occasion (FMO) includes a transmitter () to transmit radio signals required to perform random access channel (RACH) transmission (RACHing) and report the results of cell measurements. A receiver receives radio signals required to acquire information blocks, serving cell selection criteria, and measurement rule parameters, and to measure at least one of inter-frequency and inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) neighbor cells. A scheduling module () schedules FMO frames for neighbor cell measurement in order to prioritize FMO frames that collide with a position of an information block or that collide with RACHing.
