A system and method for determining the orientation of a linear array of radio receivers in space is provided. The system includes a primary radio receiver and a plurality of secondary radio receivers arranged in a collinear configuration and irregularly spaced apart from one another. The primary radio receiver and plurality of auxiliary radio receivers capable of receiving radio signals from a plurality of transmitters located in known, surveyed locations in a coordinate system. With the location of the primary receiver determined, the direction in which the aligned radio devices is pointed relative to the transmitters is then determined by using the phase angle of arrival (AoA) data from each transmitter.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a set of antenna parameters for a plurality of antenna ports of a transmission-reception point (TRP), obtains positioning measurements of a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) resources transmitted on the plurality of antenna ports, reconstructs an underlying physical channel between the TRP and the UE based on the positioning measurements of the plurality of PRS resources, and determines a downlink angle of arrival (DL-AoD) measurement from the TRP to the UE based on the reconstructed underlying physical channel.

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for multi-level configuration and reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, a network entity may determine a position or location of a supported user equipment (UE) using radio access network information. The information may be associated with UE-assisted positioning techniques, such as a positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission by the base station and reporting of radio signaling measurements by the UE. The UE may support a multi-level configuration for reporting the radio signaling measurements, including determined report quantities on one or more of a resource level, a set level, or a setting level for the PRS transmission, or generally for the network entity. The described techniques may improve robustness associated with the reporting and, in some examples, reduce signaling overhead associated with determining a positioning and location of the UE.

A method is provided for transmitting data in a system for determining a location of at least one industrial truck comprising a mobile radio station and positioned in an area having a plurality of stationary radio stations. The method comprises transmitting a position-determining signal from the mobile radio station to the plurality of stationary radio stations. The position-determining signal is received and a position signal is transmitted from the plurality of stationary radio stations to the mobile radio station. Additional data is appended to at least one of the position-determining signal and the position signal and is evaluated. A current vehicle position is then determined from at least three received position signals.
