SIDELINK-ASSISTED POSITION ESTIMATION PROCEDURE

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity (e.g., UE, gNB, LMF, etc.) identifies a pool of UEs for a SL-assisted position estimation procedure of a set of target UEs. SL SRS-Ps are communicated (e.g., transmitted and measured) between the pool of UEs (e.g., for relative SL ranging). UL SRS-Ps are communicated by at least some of the UEs in the pool of UEs. The position estimation entity obtains measurement data for both the SL SRS-P and UL-SRS-P communications. The position estimation entity determines a position estimate for each UE in the set of UEs based on the measurement information.

Numerous other aspects are described.

Signaling details for PRS stitching for positioning in a wireless network

A wireless entity, such as a user equipment (UE) or transmission reception point (TRP), receives and processes aggregated positioning reference signals (PRS) to increase the effective PRS bandwidth, thereby increasing positioning accuracy, such as time of arrival measurements. An aggregated PRS includes one or more PRS components that are transmitted from a same transmitting entity. Each PRS component may be, e.g., a separate PRS resource associated with a contiguous frequency-domain bandwidth or may be, e.g., a plurality of frequency-domain bandwidths spanned by a single PRS resource. PRS components of an aggregated PRS that are unpunctured, e.g., do not collide with higher priority signals, are aligned in time domain, and are configured with common constraints are processed jointly assuming that the PRS components are transmitted from a same antenna port, thereby increasing the effective PRS bandwidth.
