The present disclosure relates to a collision avoidance concept comprising emitting a modulated light beacon from an object, wherein a luminance of the light beacon is modulated based on a useful signal carrying information on a position of the object, detecting, by an event-based vision sensor of a vehicle, the modulated light beacon of the object and outputting an event signal in response to a detected change in luminance of the modulated light beacon, and estimating a distance between the object and the vehicle based on the event signal.

A method and an apparatus for performing positioning by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a sidelink according to various embodiments are disclosed. Disclosed are a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of pieces of sidelink control information (SCI) including scheduling information of a PRS from a plurality of anchor nodes; receiving a plurality of PRSs on the basis of the plurality of pieces of SCI; on the basis of the positional relationship of the plurality of anchor nodes, detecting ambiguity in position measurement based on the plurality of PRSs; requesting an angle of arrival (AoA) report from one anchor node among the plurality of anchor nodes on the basis of the detected ambiguity in position measurement; and measuring the position of the UE on the basis of the plurality of PRSs and the reported AoA.

A first UE includes: a transceiver; a memory; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, configured to: at least one of: initiate a first UE-to-UE positioning function in response to receiving a first UE-to-UE positioning trigger from a second UE via the transceiver; or send a second UE-to-UE positioning trigger for the second UE via the transceiver to cause the second UE to initiate a second UE-to-UE positioning function; or communicate with the second UE via the transceiver to determine a characteristic of a UE-to-UE location reference signal to be exchanged between the first UE and the second UE; and exchange the UE-to-UE location reference signal with the second UE via the transceiver.

An electronic device may include an infrared light source and an infrared image sensor to enable infrared beacon functionality. In a location sharing scenario, a first electronic device may use the infrared light source to emit infrared light and serve as an infrared beacon. A second electronic device may use the infrared image sensor to detect the infrared beacon and identify the location of the first electronic device. The infrared image sensor that is used to detect the infrared beacon may also serve as a time-of-flight sensor for a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) module.

According to the embodiments, positioning precision and accuracy can be improved.

A method performed for side-link (SL) configuration of a plurality of user equipment (UEs), the method comprising: sending, to a transmitting UE (Tx UE) and a receiving UE (Rx UE), a request for sidelink (SL) positioning reference signal (PRS) capabilities data; receiving, from each of the Tx UE and the Rx UE, respective SL PRS capabilities data; configuring a SL positioning reference signal (PRS) that is based on the SL PRS capabilities data for each of the Tx UE and the Rx UE; sending data specifying a selected SL PRS configuration to the Tx UE; receiving an acknowledgement signal from the Tx UE indicating a Tx UE SL PRS configuration that is based on the selected SL PRS configuration; and providing, to the Rx UE, the Tx UE SL PRS configuration.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first user equipment (UE) may include: a receiver configured to receive SL positioning configuration information from a second UE, wherein the first UE helps the second UE to acquire its position; a transmitter configured to transmit a location information report to the second UE based on the positioning configuration information; and a processor coupled to the receiver and the transmitter.

This provides methods and systems for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) combined with the dead-reckoning (DR) technique, which is expected to provide a vehicle positioning solution, but it may contain an unacceptable amount of error due to multiple causes, e.g., atmospheric effects, clock timing, and multipath effect. Particularly, the multipath effect is a major issue in the urban canyons. This invention overcomes these and other issues in the DR solution by a geofencing framework based on road geometry information and multiple supplemental kinematic filters. It guarantees a road-level accuracy and enables certain V2X applications which does not require sub-meter accuracy, e.g., signal phase timing, intersection movement assist, curve speed warning, reduced speed zone warning, and red-light violation warning. Automated vehicle is another use case. This is used for autonomous cars and vehicle safety, shown with various examples/variations.

The present document provides a method by which first vehicle-to-X (V2X) user equipment (UE) for supporting distance measurement transmits a ranging response signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a ranging request signal from second V2X UE; and transmitting, to the second V2X UE, the ranging response signal as a response to the ranging request signal on the basis of distance measurement parameter information, wherein the distance measurement parameter information includes information on a cyclic prefix (CP) length used for the ranging response signal, and the CP length used for the ranging response signal is different from a CP length to be used in V2X data channel transmission.
