    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to combining Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) measurements from partial measurement sessions that result when a single measurement session is interrupted by one or more interruption events including Out of Service (OOS) or Inter-Frequency Handover (IFH) events. In some embodiments, first Time Of Arrival (TOA) measurements of cellular signals during a plurality of discontiguous partial measurement sessions separated by one or more interruption events may be obtained. Second TOA measurements based on a reference time source may be obtained for a plurality of the first TOA measurements from at least two partial measurement sessions. A cell associated with a second TOA measurement may be selected as a reference cell and for each non-reference cell associated with a second TOA measurement, a corresponding RSTD measurement may be obtained relative to the selected reference cell.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and devices for processing Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) bursts are presented. In one example, a mobile device may acquire a first PRS burst transmitted from a base station through first transmitter antenna port and acquire a second PRS burst transmitted from a base station through a second antenna port. The mobile device may select between the first and second acquired PRS bursts for use in positioning operations such as observed time difference of arrival.

    Abstract: One or more sequences of binary values may be generated based on a length L and a duty cycle D, wherein duty cycle D denotes a percentage of a number of bits of value one in length L. Then, based on an identity of a cell, a sequence may be selected for use by a base station in muting its transmission of a positioning signal. The sequence which is selected may be used directly in muting with no change therein, or may be elongated followed by use of an elongated sequence in muting. When specific occasions are muted in the positioning signal, a mobile device may measure times of arrival of other positioning signals that are not muted. Two such measurements of arrival times may be used to compute a difference there between, for use as a difference measurement in a procedure to determine a location of the mobile device.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses to determine time difference of arrival of signals from two base stations as received at a mobile device, to use the time difference of arrival to determine differential forward link calibration for at least two base stations, and also to determine location using the differential forward link calibration for at least two base stations, determined using the time difference of arrival of signals from at least two base stations as received by a mobile device.

    Abstract: Described are an apparatus and a method for increasing an uncertainty associated with an estimated position of the apparatus. Signals transmitted from a plurality of stationary transmitters may be acquired, and a difference in received carrier frequency of the acquired signals may be measured. The lower bound of a speed of a mobile device may be determined based at least in part on the measured difference in received carrier frequency. The uncertainty may be increased based at least in part on the lower bound of the speed.
