METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BEAM ASSISTED POSITIONING
First Claim
1. A method for determining a location of a communication device in a communication system, the method comprising:
- establishing a connection between the communication device and at least one transmission reception point of the communication system;
determining, by a location server, at least one transit time of messages between the at least one transmission reception point and the communication device, wherein the location server is located within the at least one transmission reception point;
determining at least one strongest beam of a plurality of beams of the at least one transmission reception point, with regard to the communication device; and
determining, by the location server, a location of the communication device based upon the at least one transit time to the at least one transmission reception point and the at least one strongest beam of the at least one transmission reception point.

Abstract
A method for determining a location of a communication device in a communication system is provided. The communication system comprises at least one transmission reception point, transmitting a plurality of beams. Especially, the method comprises establishing a connection between the communication device and the at least one transmission reception point, determining a transit time of messages between the at least one transmission reception point and the communication device, determining at least one strongest beam of the plurality of beams of the at least one transmission reception point, with regard to the communication device, and determining a location of the communication device, based upon the at least one transit time to the at least one transmission reception point and the at least one strongest beam of the at least one transmission reception point.
