    Abstract: One or more bits are used in peer discovery signals to signal a device's ability and/or willingness to participate in a cooperative manner with regard to one or more mobile device location determination related operations. In some embodiments, the one or more bits are located at predetermined locations within a header portion of a peer discovery signal. Different bits, in some embodiments, are associated with different specific cooperative location determination related operations. The peer discovery signal is transmitted, e.g., broadcast, periodically or on some predetermined basis by a mobile wireless communications device. In this manner, a device listening to the peer discovery signals can determine other devices' willingness to perform particular location discovery related operations with very little signaling overhead.

    Abstract translation: 在一个或多个移动设备位置确定相关操作中,在对等体发现信号中使用一个或多个比特来表示设备的能力和/或以协作方式参与的愿意。 在一些实施例中,一个或多个比特位于对等体发现信号的报头部分内的预定位置。 在一些实施例中,不同的位与不同的具体协作位置确定相关的操作相关联。 通过移动无线通信设备周期性地或在某些预定的基础上发送对等体发现信号,例如广播。 以这种方式,监听对等体发现信号的设备可以以非常少的信令开销来确定其他设备执行特定位置发现相关操作的意愿。

    Abstract: Mobile devices are used as temporary location anchor points, e.g., to supplement fixed location permanent location anchor points, in a wireless communications system in which mobile device locations are determined. A mobile device receives a command or request to operate as a location anchor point. In some embodiments, the command includes time information indicating the amount of time the mobile device is to operate as a location anchor point. In some embodiments, a mobile device operating as a location anchor point reports a received signal strength measurement along with information identifying the device from which the signal was received to a network element, e.g., a location server node. In some embodiments, a mobile device operating as a location anchor point broadcasts a signal providing location information. The mobile device receives compensation for operating as a location anchor point. Compensation may be monetary, services, or benefits provided by the network.
