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 from Rohde & Schwarz, review the technical requirements and use cases for 5G location based services (LBS). Learn the strengths and limitations of key positioning technologies such as DL-TDOA, MC-RTT, AoD, AoA, GNSS, Wi Fi and Barometric measurements.
