Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.331, Fig. 5.5.6.1-1: Location measurement indication

Figure 5.5.6.1-1: Location measurement indication

The purpose of this procedure is to indicate to the network that the UE is going to start/stop location related measurements towards E-UTRA or NR which require measurement gaps or start/stop detection of subframe and slot timing towards E-UTRA (eutra-FineTimingDetection) which requires measurement gaps. UE shall initiate this procedure only after successful AS security activation.

5.5.6.2 Initiation p. 286

The UE shall:

1 >

if and only if upper layers indicate to start performing location measurements towards E-UTRA or NR or start subframe and slot timing detection towards E-UTRA, and the UE requires measurement gaps for these operations while measurement gaps are either not configured or not sufficient:

2 >

if preconfigured measurement gaps for positioning and posMG-Request are configured and the UE considers that at least one of the preconfigured measurement gaps for positioning is sufficient for the location measurement when activated:

3 >

trigger the lower layers to initiate the measurement gap activation request using UL MAC CE as specified in TS 38.321;

2 >

else:

3 >

initiate the procedure to indicate start as specified in clause 5.5.6.3;

1 >

if and only if upper layers indicate to stop performing location measurements towards E-UTRA or NR or stop subframe and slot timing detection towards E-UTRA:

2 >

if there is no activated preconfigured measurement gap for positioning:

3 >

if there is previously triggered UL MAC CE transmission for the measurement gap activation for positioning:

4 >

indicate to the lower layers to cancel the triggered UL MAC CE transmission for the measurement gap activation as specified in TS 38.321;

2 >

else if there is activated preconfigured measurement gap for positioning:

3 >

trigger the lower layers to deactivate all the activated measurement gap(s) for positioning as specified in TS 38.321.

2 >

if there is configured measurement gap used for positioning and the measurement gap is not the activated preconfigured measurement gap for positioning:

3 >

initiate the procedure to indicate stop as specified in clause 5.5.6.3.

5.5.6.3 Actions related to transmission of LocationMeasurementIndication message p. 287

The UE shall set the contents of LocationMeasurementIndication message as follows:

1 >

if the procedure is initiated to indicate start of location related measurements:

2 >

if the procedure is initiated for RSTD measurements towards E-UTRA:

3 >

set the measurementIndication to the eutra-RSTD according to the information received from upper layers;

2 >

else if the procedure is initiated for positioning measurement towards NR:

3 >

set the measurementIndication to the nr-PRS-Measurement according to the information received from upper layers;

1 >

else if the procedure is initiated to indicate stop of location related measurements:

2 >

set the measurementIndication to the value release;

1 >

if the procedure is initiated to indicate start of subframe and slot timing detection towards E-UTRA:

2 >

set the measurementIndication to the value eutra-FineTimingDetection;

1 >

else if the procedure is initiated to indicate stop of subframe and slot timing detection towards E-UTRA:

2 >

set the measurementIndication to the value release;

1 >

submit the LocationMeasurementIndication message to lower layers for transmission, upon which the procedure ends.
