A method for estimating position of a mobile device which includes receiving, from a network server, observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) assistance data for a first plurality of cells from a base station almanac (BSA) accessible to the network server. The OTDOA assistance data is stored, within a memory of the mobile device, as a first micro-BSA. A position estimate for the mobile device is determined based upon time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements associated with an initial subset of the first plurality of cells and initial OTDOA assistance data corresponding to the initial subset of the first plurality of cells. The initial OTDOA assistance data may be generated by the micro-BSA based upon an initial seed estimate.

A method of assessing a reported UE location includes: receiving, at a network entity, the reported UE location; obtaining, at the network entity, a first signal frequency difference indicating a first difference between a received frequency of a first signal received by the UE corresponding to a first transmit signal of a first transmit frequency transmitted from a first non-terrestrial-network node, and a received frequency of a second signal received by the UE corresponding to a second transmit signal of a second transmit frequency transmitted from a second non-terrestrial-network node that is separate from the first non-terrestrial-network node; and providing, by the network entity, a UE location assessment indication based on the first signal frequency difference and a second difference between an expected frequency of the first signal at the reported UE location and an expected frequency of the second signal at the reported UE location.

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a UE that receives, from a location server of a non-terrestrial network, first control signaling indicating a first PRS configuration that includes positioning assistance data and measurement reporting configuration. The UE also receives second control signaling indicating a second PRS configuration that indicates adapted PRS information based at least in part on mobility, an interference level, and/or a propagation delay pattern. The UE also receives third control signaling indicating a third PRS configuration that includes a duration for reporting a measurement of reference signals based at least in part on the adapted PRS information. The UE transmits, to the location server of the NTN, a report indicating the measurement of the reference signals and/or a location estimate based at least in part on the duration for the reporting.

A method for determining the position of a decoy using at least one receiver, the method includes a step for detecting a decoy attack, a step for correcting the clock bias delivered by the receiver based on an estimated drift (D.sub.j) of the clock of the receiver. The method comprises a step for differential measurements using at least three corrected clock biases (CB.sub.jcorr(t), CB.sub.kcorr(t), CB.sub.lcorr(t)) and a localization step for determining the position of the decoy.

According to embodiments herein, assistance data may be provided to a UE regarding an anchor UE that provides a reference signal via the SL interface to the UE. Assistance data may include information indicative of the coordinates, height, drift rate, beam characteristics, group delay, and/or other aspects of the anchor UE. The assistance data may be provided to the UE by a location server, a base station, or directly from the anchor UE.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a location server, assistance data for a positioning procedure, obtains a frequency offset measurement of one or more positioning reference signal (PRS) resources transmitted by at least one transmission-reception point (TRP) based on the assistance data, and enables a location of the UE to be determined based, at least in part, on the frequency offset measurement.

The present disclosure provides a cross-correlation based method, a system and a storage medium for blind electromagnetic interference Doppler estimation from a single satellite geolocation system. The method includes at a first time, calculating a power spectral density (PSD) of a received signal; smoothing the PSD of the received signal using moving window average, and saving the smoothed PSD of the received signal as PSD0; at a next time, calculating a PSD of another received signal; smoothing the PSD of the another received signal using moving window average, and saving the smoothed PSD of the another received signal as PSD1; performing cross correlation between PSD0 and PSD1 to obtain a cross-correlation result; determining a peak position from the cross-correlation result; and obtaining a Doppler estimation based on a peak position shift between the peak position and a reference position.

A method in a network node and a network is provided to determine line of sight, LOS, base stations for a user equipment (UE) is provided. A request is provided to at least one of the UE and a plurality of base stations to measure and report LOS detection measurements, wherein the plurality of base stations includes base stations of a serving cell of the UE. The LOS detection measurements are received from the at least one of the UE and the plurality of base stations. LOS base stations for the UE are determined based on the LOS detection measurements. An indication of the LOS base stations is transmitted to the UE.
