Abstract
Techniques for improving a vehicles access to GPS signals are discussed herein. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be configured to communicate with the vehicle, such as a V2X capable vehicle, and provide GPS line of sight connection to a GPS satellite, thereby avoiding any blocking issues while maintaining accurate positioning of the vehicle on the ground. Short-range communications (e.g., Wi-Fi, PC5, unicast, etc.) may be used to provide the connectivity between the vehicle and the UAV. In some cases, a vehicle may drive into a designated area and the UAV and/or the vehicle may initiate connectivity with the other and start UAV assisted positioning services within the designated area.
