USER EQUIPMENT (UE)-SPECIFIC BANDWIDTH PART QUANTIZATION
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine a currently active bandwidth part (BWP). The UE may determine a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration that specifies PRSs to be measured. The UE may determine that a first subset of the PRSs to be measured are within the currently active BWP and that a second subset of the PRSs to be measured are not within the currently active BWP. The UE may upon determining that measuring the PRSs in the first subset but not measuring the PRSs in the second subset will not produce a measurement result that meets an accuracy requirement, extending the currently active BWP to include at least some of the PRSs in the second subset.
METHOD FOR GEOLOCATING INTERFERENCE SOURCE IN COMMUNICATION-BASED TRANSPORT SYSTEM
A method for geolocating an interference source in a communication-based transport system, wherein the communication-based transport system comprises: —a plurality of interference sources, distributed in a space and respectively emitting signal, —a vehicle, moving along a known trajectory, receiving the signal from the interference sources, and measuring the signal strength of the signal of only one interference source at a time instance; the method comprising: —separating the interference sources by clustering the signal strength of the signal with a clustering method; —estimating the locations of the interference sources in the space based on the separated interference sources.
POSITIONING MEASUREMENT DERIVATION BASED ON A DECODED PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CHANNEL AND CORRESPONDING MEASUREMENT LATENCY
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with the DMRS, the DMRS and the PDSCH spanning a plurality of symbols of a slot, decodes the PDSCH, performs a positioning measurement based on the DMRS and the decoded PDSCH, and reports, to a location server, the positioning measurement or location information derived at least based on the positioning measurement.
POSITIONING METHOD AND APPARATUS
A positioning method in a 5G cellular network includes a UE receiving a radio resource control (RRC) release message, the RRC release message carrying positioning assistance information. The positioning assistance information is used to perform positioning measurement to obtain a positioning result when the UE is in an RRC non-connected state; and the RRC non-connected state includes an RRC idle state and an RRC inactive state.
ADAPTIVE ANCHOR SELECTION AND TARGET POSITION ESTIMATION
In an example method of target position estimation, the method includes calculating initial estimated positions of a target transmitter. Each of the initial estimated positions is based on an angle of arrival estimate received from a locator. The method includes generating an error projection associated with each of the initial estimated positions. The error projection is based on azimuth and elevation error characteristics of the locator associated with the initial estimated position. The method includes creating a select group of the locators based on overlaps of the error projections, wherein the select group of locators comprises a subset of the locators. The method includes calculating a refined estimate of the position of the target transmitter based on the initial estimated positions associated with the select group of locators.

USER EQUIPMENT POSITIONING SIGNAL MEASUREMENT AND/OR TRANSMISSION
A user equipment configured for wireless signal exchange includes: a transceiver configured to transmit outbound signals wirelessly and receive inbound signals wirelessly; a memory; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, and configured to at least one of: measure an uplink positioning reference signal received from the transceiver, the uplink positioning reference signal having an uplink channel configuration; or measure a first sidelink positioning reference signal received from the transceiver, the first sidelink positioning reference signal having a first sidelink channel configuration; or send a second sidelink positioning reference signal via the transceiver, the second sidelink positioning reference signal having a second sidelink channel configuration.
AVOIDING VEHICLE COLLISION USING SIGNALS FROM MOBILE DEVICES
A broadcast of a signal is received at a first system from a second system at a first time. From the signal, a location of a target associated with the second system and a velocity of the target are determined relative to a location of the first system and a velocity of the first system. At the first system, using the location and the velocity of the first system and using the location and the velocity of the target, a likelihood is computed of a collision between the first system and the second system. A notification is sent from the first system about the likelihood of collision responsive to the likelihood of collision exceeding a threshold likelihood.
