Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for performing energy efficient positioning. One apparatus in a mobile communication network includes network interface and a processor that establishes a LPP session with a UE. In response to the network interface receiving an indication from the UE for operating in a reduced power mode, the processor configures the UE for energy efficient positioning measurements.

The present disclosure relates to a positioning method in a wireless communication system and a device supporting same.

A system and method for determining a position or a movable device is disclosed. The present system utilizes a movable device equipped with a locator device that has an antenna array such that it may determine the angle of arrival of a plurality of incoming beacon signals. In certain embodiments, the movable device is also able to measure its distance travelled. By knowing its distance moved and the angle of arrival from each beacon, the locator device is able to calculate its position as well as the position of each beacon. This procedure may be executed at regular intervals so that the movable device accurately determines its position.

A method comprising: wirelessly receiving, at a first device, at least one data packet from each second device of a plurality of second devices arranged at predetermined locations of a target; detecting an angle of arrival of each at least one data packet wirelessly received of at least a pair of second devices; calculating at least one angle difference between the angles of arrival associated with the pair of second devices, or between the angles of arrival associated with each of the pair of second devices and a predetermined direction; and determining whether the target is at a predetermined distance range from the first device by estimating the distance based on the at least one angle difference, and a predetermined distance between the predetermined locations; or checking whether each of the at least one angle difference is within a predetermined angle range for the predetermined locations of the pair of second devices. Also, a method for making such determination based on angles of departure.

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for receiving an indication from a base station, at a user equipment having at least one antenna panel, to provide beam reporting information according to one of a plurality of beam reporting formats and providing beam reporting information to the base station according to the indicated beam reporting format.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a positioning entity determines an initial set of wireless links over which positioning reference signals (PRS) are measured by a network node engaged in a positioning session, identifies a subset of wireless links of the initial set of wireless links based on an expected positioning measurement associated with a corresponding wireless link of the initial set of wireless links, a location of an anchor node associated with the corresponding wireless link, and an observed positioning measurement for the corresponding wireless link, and determines a location of the network node based on observed positioning measurements of the identified subset of wireless links.

This application relates to a location measuring system including a driving-type working device. In one aspect, the system includes a data receiving unit that receives marking data about a working surface, a marking unit that executes a marking operation with respect to the working surface corresponding to the marking data, and a scanning unit that scans a target space. The system may also include a scan condition setting unit that sets a movement path of the driving-type working device corresponding to the marking data, sets a scanning position for scanning the target space in consideration of space map data corresponding to the target space, and sets a scan angle of the scanning unit at the scanning position. The system may further include a position detecting unit that compares scan data acquired via the scanning unit with the space map data to detect a position of the driving-type working device.

An apparatus for localizing a target user equipment (“UE”) sidelink (“SL”) positioning includes a processor configured to cause the target UE to receive from a sidelink configuration source SL positioning reference signals (“SL PRS”) assistance data associated with SL reference signal transmissions e.g., beam transmissions, transmitted from one or more SL signal transmitting devices. The target UE receives transmitted SL signal information from the one or more SL signal transmitting devices and performs SL signal angle of arrival (“AoA”) measurements or SL reference signal received power (“SL RSRP”) measurements for deriving angle of departure (“AoD”) mapped to the received SL RSRP measurements or performs SL radio resource management measurements (“SL-RMM”) for determining an estimated location of the target UE using SL-AoD, SL-AoA, SL-RMM positioning techniques or combinations thereof.
