On May 26th, Gizcoupon reported that the patent titled “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Positioning and Measurement Method and Device” by Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. had been published. The application publication number is CN116157706A.
The Xiaomi GNSS Positioning and Measurement Patent abstract illustrates a method and device for GNSS positioning and measurement within the global navigation satellite system. It involves receiving configuration information from network devices. This configuration information is used to indicate the execution of periodic and/or non-periodic positioning measurements by the terminal device. Additionally, based on this configuration information, the positioning measurements are performed. This enables the terminal device to execute GNSS measurements effectively according to the configuration information. Therefore, timely and accurate position information can be obtained according to GNSS measurement. Moreover, more accurate uplink synchronization compensation information can be obtained. This approach avoids interference in uplink transmission between different terminal devices.
The findings of Gizcoupon reveal that Xiaomi has previously published two patents related to the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning and measurement methods and devices.
They are as follows:
Application publication number CN115280185A: This application presents a method and device for GNSS positioning measurement within the global navigation satellite system. It involves receiving a first indication message from a network device. It indicates whether the terminal device should engage in wireless communication interaction during the execution of positioning measurements. Furthermore, based on this first indication message, the positioning measurements are performed. This allows the terminal device to obtain its own location information promptly and efficiently. The method effectively reduces transmission delay and saves terminal device power consumption. It enables the acquisition of more accurate uplink synchronization compensation information. It also mitigates interference in uplink transmission between different terminal devices.

Application publication number CN115280875A: This application discloses a method and device for GNSS positioning measurement within the global navigation satellite system. It involves receiving a paging message from a network device. It includes a first indication message. This first indication message is used to determine the temporal scope information for the execution of positioning measurements by the terminal device. Additionally, based on this first indication message, the positioning measurements are performed within the defined temporal scope. This allows the terminal device to obtain its own location information promptly and efficiently while in an idle state. The method effectively reduces transmission delay and saves terminal device power consumption. Moreover, it avoids unnecessary paging signal overhead caused by a delayed response from the terminal device to paging messages. It also contributes to saving system signaling overhead and enhancing system communication efficiency.
