Techniques for positioning a bandwidth-limited user equipment (UE) are provided. An example method of positioning performed by a bandwidth-limited UE according to the disclosure includes receiving a first timing measurement signal from at least one proximate UE, wherein the at least one proximate UE is capable of using more bandwidth than the bandwidth-limited UE, and transmitting a second timing measurement signal to the at least one proximate user equipment.

A positioning method, device, system, terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The positioning method may include: continuously and at intervals sending broadcast packets including at least RSU location information and message sending time to the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) apparatus (100) through at least 3 road side units (RSUs) (RSU1, RSU2, RSU3) with fixed locations; when the positioning system of the V2X apparatus (100) is abnormal, by using the information in the broadcast packets and the information at the time before the abnormality of the positioning system of the V2X apparatus (100), calculating and obtaining the location information of the V2X apparatus (100) in real time.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus of transmitting control information for sidelink positioning. The method of transmitting control information for sidelink positioning in an NR-V2X communication system according to one aspect may comprise the steps of: determining at least one transmission slot for transmission of first positioning sidelink control information (PSCI) and second PSCI; determining at least one physical channel for transmission of the first PSCI and the second PSCI; mapping the first PSCI and the second PSCI to the determined at least one transmission slot and the determined at least one physical channel; and transmitting the mapped first PSCI and the second PSCI. The apparatus is capable of communicating with at least one of another apparatus, a user equipment (UE) related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station (BS) or a network.

Positioning for user equipments (UEs) in a wireless network is supported by restricting position reference signal (PRS) configuration parameters for a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) based on PRS configuration used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted by restricting orthogonality of the PRS resources with respect to PRS resources from co-located TRPs to only code division multiplexing, and other types of orthogonality such as time division multiplexing and frequency divisional multiplexing are not permitted for co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted to the same muting sequence type, e.g., inter-instance and/or intra-instance muting, as used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters, e.g., related to orthogonality and/or muting, are not restricted with respect to non-co-located TRPs. The restrictions on the PRS configuration parameters for a TRP may be determined by a central authority, such as a location server.

A method, implemented by a computer, for positioning based on heterogeneous networks comprises: estimating a position of a personal mobility device (PMD) based on a first wireless signal; determining whether the PMD is within an intermediate area between a first area and a second area, based on an estimated position of the PMD; determining whether the PMD moves to the second area, by using both the first wireless signal and a second wireless signal; and determining position of the PMD by using any one of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal based on a movement of the PMD to the second area.

A communication link is established from a motor vehicle to an other vehicle in the vicinity of the motor vehicle by receiving configuration data from the other vehicle, and determining a relative position of the other vehicle relative to the motor vehicle. A virtual display, which indicates the other vehicle as a possible communication partner, is provided for a user of the motor vehicle by at least partially using the relative position of the other vehicle and the configuration data. A communication command is received from the user, by which the other vehicle is selected as the communication partner. A direct communication link is then established with the other vehicle having been selected as the communication partner.

A communication system is a communication system provided in a mobile body and including an acquirer configured to acquire a destination of the mobile body and a position of the mobile body, and a communicator configured to communicate with a communication device outside the mobile body using an antenna, in which the communicator is configured to set a reception sensitivity of the antenna when the position of the mobile body approaches to within a predetermined distance from the destination of the mobile body to be higher than a reception sensitivity of the antenna before the position of the mobile body approaches to within the predetermined distance.

A method of operating a network node (140) of a network (100) is provided. The network (100) comprising a first access node (191) and at least one second access node (192-195). The method includes establishing a first state of one or more first beams (71-78) of a first transmission between the first access node (191) and a mobile device (90). The method further includes determining whether a certain one of one or more second beams (71-78) of a second transmission between the at least one second access node (192-195) and the mobile device (90) is to be activated, based on the first state and a predetermined mapping (51) between the first state and a second state of the one or more second beams (71-78), the second transmission comprising positioning reference signals (3056).

In an information processing system including a terminal device carried by a user and a server device communicably connected to the terminal device by a secure communication method, the terminal device acquires a sensing result in a real space where the terminal device is located and sends the same to the server device, and the server device holds base information for specifying at least one position in the real space as an information processing base, and sends an information processing instruction to the terminal device in a case where a predetermined condition defined using a distance or a direction between a position specified by the sensing result received from the terminal device and a position specified by the base information is satisfied.

A positioning method includes: obtaining traffic control information indicative of transmission of a traffic control indication granting permission for vehicle motion, or permission for pedestrian motion, or a combination thereof and determining, based on the traffic control information, position-related information including a location of a user equipment (UE), a heading of the UE, or a combination thereof.
