Abstract

A method for sharing user equipment state estimates between nodes within a wireless communication network comprises initiating of transmission of at least one of obtained user equipment kinematic state estimate information and obtained user equipment type state estimate information to a receiving network node as a response to an obtained indication of a need for sharing user equipment state estimates. The obtained user equipment kinematic state estimate information comprising a latest kinematic state update time, as well as mode state vector estimates, mode covariance matrices and mode probabilities for at least one user equipment kinematic mode. The obtained user equipment type state estimate information comprising a latest type state update time and a type state probability estimate. A method for receiving and propagating the user equipment state estimates, and devices for both methods are also disclosed.
