Webinar: 5G location based services in Rel. 15 & Rel. 16

Many of the 5G applications benefit from having accurate and reliable positioning information; for some, it’s a key enabler. 3GPP identified this need and recently standardized advanced positioning methods in Release 15 and Release 16.

In this webinar, we will present the technical requirements and use cases for 5G location based services (LBS). We will then discuss the strengths and limitations of key positioning technologies such as DL-TDOA, MC-RTT, AoD, AoA, GNSS, Wi Fi and Barometric measurements.

Finally, we will provide some details around specific Rohde & Schwarz test solutions that can be used to test the reliability and accuracy of positioning methods under all conditions, either indoors or outdoors.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Different use cases and industry verticals addressed by 5G LBS technologies
  • Contrast of 5G LBS technologies compared to the legacy technologies
  • LBS techniques defined in 3GPP Release 15 and Release 16
  • Details on Release 16 technologies such as DL-TDOA, MC-RTT, AoA and AoD
  • Rohde & Schwarz testing solutions for LBS
