Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify one or more sidelink positioning reference signal burst patterns identifying one or more bursts of sidelink positioning reference signals that are to be transmitted by either the UE or by other sidelink UEs. The UE may schedule transmission of a sidelink data message to occur during a same time period that includes the one or more bursts of sidelink positioning reference signals. The UE may transmit the sidelink data message via first resource elements that are different from second resource elements on which the one or more bursts of sidelink positioning reference signals are transmitted.

An embodiment is a method for a terminal to perform an operation in a wireless communication system, the method including the steps of: transmitting a participation request message to peripheral anchor nodes (ANs); receiving participation response messages from candidate ANs among the peripheral ANs; selecting final ANs to be used for measuring the location of the terminal from among the candidate ANs; and measuring the location of the terminal using the final ANs.

A method for visually representing information on a display of a portable electronic device includes receiving location coordinates from at least one other portable electronic device, plotting a visual identifier on a map and displaying the map on the display of the portable electronic device. The position of the visual identifier corresponds to the location coordinates received from the at least one other portable electronic device, which correspond to an actual location of the at least one other portable electronic device. The appearance of the visual identifier is selected to depict the status of the user of the at least one other portable electronic device.

A method and apparatus for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback based on a communication range and location of devices is provided. A first device (e.g., receiving user equipment in sidelink) receives, from a second device (e.g., transmitting user equipment in sidelink, control information including 1) a communication range, and 2) a location of the second device. The first device determines whether to perform a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback based on whether a distance between a location of the first device for the control information and the location of the second device is smaller or equal to the communication range.

A responder user equipment (UE) in separate ranging sessions may determine whether there is a collision between the ranging signals assigned to broadcast in the separate ranging sessions. A collision in the ranging signals is detected when the ranging signals have the same frequencies and broadcast times, e.g., the broadcast time of one ranging signal is within a predetermined amount of time for the other ranging signal. When a collision in the ranging signals is detected, the responder UE sends a message to the initiator UE indicating the possibility of a collision. Available times for broadcasting the ranging signals may be determined, e.g., by the responder UE or the initiator UE. The initiator UE may initiate a new ranging session based on the available times for broadcasting the ranging signal or may proceed with the ranging session with the possibility that the responder UE will not participate.

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a vehicle to determine location relative to a roadside unit (RSU) or other nearby point of reference. Vehicles within a pre-designated range or within broadcast distance or otherwise geographically proximate to a roadside unit, through the use of broadcast or other messages sent by the vehicles and/or the RSU may share carrier GNSS phase measurement data, wherein the shared GNSS carrier phase measurement data may be utilized to control and coordinate vehicle movements, velocity and/or position by the RSU and/or to determine location of each vehicle relative to the RSU and/or to other vehicles or determine the absolute location of each vehicle. An RSU may coordinate vehicle access to an intersection, manage vehicle speeds and coordinate or control vehicle actions such as slowing, stopping, and changing lanes or sending a vehicle to a particular location.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to another UE, a positioning request associated with a procedure for determining a position of the UE, wherein the positioning request comprises a first sidelink communication between a first sidelink location management component (S-LMC) of the UE and a second S-LMC of the other UE, wherein the first S-LMC and the second S-LMC comprise sub-functions associated with a vehicle-to-everything protocol layer; receive, from the other UE, a second sidelink communication associated with the procedure for determining the position of the UE; and determine the position of the UE based at least in part on the second sidelink communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

An operating method of a first device (100) in a wireless communication system is presented. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a second device (200), through a first band, a positioning request including at least one candidate band and information related to positioning; determining, from the at least one candidate band, a second band on the basis of the number of devices present in each candidate band and a value related to the communication range based on the first device (100); transmitting, to the second device (200), through the first band, a positioning response including information related to the determined second band; and transmitting, to the second device (200), through the second band, a first positioning reference signal (PRS) on the basis of the information related to positioning.

A server device acquires location information indicating a location of a mobility, identification information on another mobility, the identification information being received from the other mobility by near field communication, and stop information indicating whether the mobility stops, from multiple mobilities; classifies two or more mobilities into a same mobility group, the two or more mobilities stopping and mutually receiving the identification information among the multiple mobilities; and specifies a stop place where the mobility group stops based on the location information on the two or more mobilities classified into the mobility group.

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for prioritization of sidelink-based positioning transmissions. A first UE may receive a request to initiate a sidelink positioning session with a second UE for which a sidelink positioning transmission will overlap in a time domain with communication between the first UE and a base station over a Uu access link. The first UE may transmit the sidelink positioning transmission if a first priority level of the sidelink positioning transmission is higher than a second priority level of the communication over the Uu access link. The first UE may adjust transmission of the sidelink positioning transmission if the first priority level of the sidelink positioning transmission is not higher than the second priority level of the communication over the Uu access link.
