Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a base station performs one or more angle-based measurements in a first coordinate system, determines whether to report, to a positioning entity, the one or more angle-based measurements in a local coordinate system (LCS) or a global coordinate system (GCS), and reports the one or more angle-based measurements to the positioning entity in the LCS or the GCS based on the determination. In an aspect, a positioning entity receives, from a base station, one or more angle-based measurements in an LCS of the base station or a GCS, determines whether the one or more angle-based measurements are in the LCS or the GCS, and processes the one or more angle-based measurements based on the determination.

A solution for providing differentiated positioning services in a wireless communication system is provided. For example, a method to be performed by a wireless device is provided, which includes requesting a high accuracy positioning information from the network, e.g. from a network node. The method further includes obtaining information from the network in response to the request, which is valid for a predefined period of time, and which enables the wireless device to obtain the high accuracy positioning information during the predefined period of time. The method further includes performing positioning or assisting performance of positioning based on the obtained high accuracy positioning information.

Techniques for supporting positioning for a terminal (sometimes referred to herein as a target device) in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, positioning for a target device includes transmitting a Request Assistance Data message to a location server, the Request Assistance Data message indicating at least one positioning method from a plurality of supported positioning methods. The Request Assistance Data message comprises common parameters that are applicable to all positioning methods indicated in the Request Assistance Data message. The common parameters comprise a serving cell identifier. Positioning for the target device further includes receiving assistance data sent in response to the Request Assistance Data message, and performing positioning based on the received assistance data.

Techniques for supporting positioning for a terminal (sometimes referred to herein as a target device) in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, positioning for a target device includes receiving a Request Location Information message, for a server, that includes a first information element and a second information element, wherein the first information element includes at least one field that is common to multiple positioning methods and wherein the at least one field comprises a quality-of-service (QoS), an indication of whether periodic location information is requested, an indication of whether triggered location information is requested, or any combination thereof, wherein the second information element includes at least one field that is specific to a first positioning method, and performing positioning in response to the Request Location Information message.

A method and an apparatus of measuring a position of user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network are provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration information including information about at least one PRS resource set including at least one PRS resource for receiving a PRS, receiving, from the base station, the PRS based on the PRS configuration information, and performing position measurement of the UE based on the received PRS.

A tag having a fixed physical location comprising a processor, a memory storing a first identifier, and a wireless communication interface configured to broadcast a first transmission including the first identifier. The processor is configured to receive, from the wireless communication interface, second identifiers of neighboring tags. The processor then configured to store the second identifiers of the neighboring tags in the memory and then modify the first transmission of the first identifier to include the second identifiers of the neighboring tags.

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured to receive a reference signal of a first type. The first type is other than a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS). Reference signals of the first type are received in resource elements other than resource elements used for a primary synchronization signal or a secondary synchronization signal. The WTRU is configured to receive a radio resource control message indicating a subframe position in which the reference signal of the first type is transmitted and a periodicity of a transmission of the reference signal of the first type.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for providing configurable reference signal timing difference (RSTD) search windows for positioning. In an aspect, an RSTD search window is configured based on a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration. The RSTD search window is provided to the UE. A plurality of PRS is transmitted from a network entity to a user equipment (UE), each PRS having the PRS configuration. The plurality of PRS are transmitted in a subset that is less than all subcarriers over a given bandwidth.

Systems and methods for facilitating the sorting of assets to sort locations. In various embodiments, a sort employee scans an asset indicia using a user device, which stores asset data corresponding to the stored asset. As the sort employee nears a sort location (e.g., a delivery vehicle) with the asset and the user device, the user device automatically communicates wirelessly with a sort location receiver to associate the asset data with data indicative of the sort location where the user deposits the asset. In various embodiments, a device may determine whether the user device is proximate the appropriate sort location for the item, and may generate an alert upon a determination that the user device is proximate an incorrect sort location.

The present disclosure relates to position, navigation and timing (PNT) methods, systems, and transmitters. A method comprises receiving radio-frequency (RF) signals from a plurality of virtual transmitters and determining PNT information of a target object based on information obtained from the RF signals. A system comprises a plurality of virtual transmitters and a receiver. The plurality of virtual transmitters is configured to transmit radio-frequency (RF) signals that include PNT information. The receiver is configured to determine PNT information of a target object based on the PNT information. A transmitter comprises a high-frequency (HF) carrier generator, a waveform generator, and an antenna system. The HF carrier generator generates an HF carrier signal. The waveform generator generates a waveform that includes PNT information. The antenna system transmits the HF carrier signal to generate a subject ionospheric duct. The antenna system is further configured to transmit the waveform through the ionospheric duct.
