Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a user equipment device (UE), and associated methods for enabling the UE to estimate motion of the UE based on cell type. In some embodiments, in response to determining that a serving cell of the UE is not a macro cell, a motion estimation algorithm may be disabled for at least a first time period and when the first time period lapses, the motion estimation algorithm may be partially enabled to estimate speed of the UE for at least a second time period. In response to the speed of the UE remaining above a speed threshold for at least the second time period, the motion estimation algorithm may be fully enabled. In response to the speed of the UE not remaining above the speed threshold for at least the second time period, the motion estimation algorithm may be disabled for at least a third time period.
