Reporting potential virtual anchor locations for improved positioning
Disclosed are techniques for positioning. In an aspect, a positioning entity determines a first time of flight (ToF) of a first non-line-of-sight (NLOS) multipath component of a first radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a physical transmission-reception point (TRP) to at least a first user equipment (UE), determines a location of a virtual TRP associated with the physical TRP based at least on the first ToF, and determines a location of at least a second UE based, at least in part, on the location of the virtual TRP.
ANTENNA WITH SENSORS FOR ACCURATE POINTING
Determining movement for alignment of a satellite antenna using accelerometer data and gyroscope data of the satellite antenna. Described techniques include receiving accelerometer data for a first time period from an accelerometer mounted on the antenna and analyzing the accelerometer data to determine a movement time window for a movement event of the antenna. The techniques may include receiving gyroscope data for the first time period from a gyroscope mounted on the antenna and analyzing the gyroscope data during the movement time window to determine an amount of movement of the antenna due to the movement event.
POSITIONING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A positioning method includes acquiring configuration information from a ranging data frame structure. The configuration information includes a time offset. The time offsets of at least two different positioning devices differ from on another. The method includes determining a time domain position of a first time unit in the ranging data frame according to the time offset and sending a ranging message on the first time unit to a plurality of anchor devices within a preset range of the positioning device, the ranging message being used by a server to determine a position of the positioning device according to differences in times at which the ranging message is received by each of the plurality of anchor devices.
SIDELINK TDOA-BASED POSITIONING
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of performing sidelink communication by a first device is provided. The method may include the steps of: transmitting a PRS to multiple servers; receiving, from one anchor server among the multiple servers, information relating to RSTD values indicating differences between time points at which the multiple servers have received the PRS and information relating to an absolute position of each of the multiple servers; and determining a position of the first device on the basis of the information relating to the RSTD values and the information relating to the absolute position of each of the multiple servers.
