1、Bell Labs Consulting PRS for positioning,navigation and timing(PNT)services White paper Positioning,navigation and timing(PNT)is used for a wide range of services including emergency services,critical infrastructure,defence,and commercial applications such as autonomous systems and agriculture.While
2、 GPS has often been employed to support PNT services,there are several challenges including weak signals,vulnerability to jamming,and limitations in precision.The 3rd Generation Partnership Project(3GPP)has standardized a new signal,the Positioning Reference Signal(PRS),to enable higher availability
3、 and precision.In this white paper,we introduce PRS,describe the 3GPP-defined architectural enhancements for PNT,explore different positioning techniques that use PRS,and outline the key use cases that benefit from PRS.Bell Labs Consulting 2 White paper PRS for positioning,navigation and timing(PNT)
