A method whereby a user equipment transmits/receives a reference signal for distance measurement in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step of receiving, from a base station, a downlink (DL) positioning reference signal (PRS) including sinusoidal components of different angular frequencies; a step of acquiring a phase difference between the sinusoidal components of the DL PRS; a step of transmitting a first uplink (UL) PRS indicating the phase difference, so as to measure a first distance between the user equipment and the base station at a first point of time; and a step of transmitting a second UL PRS so as to measure a second distance between the user equipment, the position of which has changed after the first point of time, and the base station, wherein the user equipment may configure the same phase difference, acquired via the DL PRS before the first point of time, for the second UL PRS, without receiving an additional DL PRS for measuring the second distance. The user equipment is capable of communicating with at least one of another user equipment, a user equipment related to an autonomous driving vehicle, the base station or a network.

A method for jointly optimizing beam selection and partitioning of transmission resources for a downlink between a base station (BS) and a user equipment (UE) in a mm-wave cellular network such as the small cell layer of a 5G network. A UE position estimate is used for accurate BS beam selection and alignment between the BS and UE beams and/or provide position-based services or functionalities. An optimal partitioning factor is obtained either by maximizing a communication performance indicator while meeting a constraint upon a localization performance indicator or by maximizing a localization performance indicator while meeting a constraint upon a communication performance indicator. A communication performance indicator can be an effective rate coverage probability or an effective throughput.

The present disclosure involves determining base station (BS) beams for communicating between a UE and the BS. The BS may use sensor data or beam management reporting history to assist with determining one or more appropriate beams. The sensor data may include camera images, radar data, or lidar data, and be used to model the cell environment served by the BS. The BS may obtain reporting data from multiple UEs over time indicating the quality of beams received by the UEs at various locations in the cell environment and model the cell environment based on the reporting data. The BS may associate beams with possible UE locations within the cell environment and use the associations to determine beams for communicating with a UE after determining the UE's location.
