Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a first communication node (e.g., UE, BS, etc.) obtains one or more measurements associated with one or more PRSs (e.g., uplink PRS(s), downlink PRS(s), etc.) The first communication node populates measurement value(s) into measurement field(s) of a report based on the one or more measurements. The first communication node identifies at least one unpopulated measurement field associated with the report, and transmits, to a second communication node, the report in association with an indication of the at least one unpopulated measurement field. The second communication node (e.g., UE, BS, etc.) performs position computing function based on the report.

According to certain embodiments, a method for use in a first node comprises receiving a first resolution factor (k) from a second node, adapting the first resolution factor (k) to obtain a second resolution factor (k′), and reporting a measurement to the second node according to the second resolution factor (k′).

The disclosure provides a method and a device for positioning in wireless communication. A first node transmits Q1 first-type radio signal(s) and transmits first information; wherein the Q1 first-type radio signal(s) is(are) transmitted by Q1 spatial parameter group(s) respectively; the first information includes a first Identifier (ID) and Q1 piece(s) of channel information, and the first information is used for indicating Q1 geographic position(s); the Q1 piece(s) of channel information is(are) based on a channel measurement(s) performed by a target node for the Q1 spatial parameter group(s) respectively, and the target node is identified by the first ID; and the Q1 spatial parameter group(s) cover(s) the Q1 geographic position(s) respectively. The disclosure can improve the precision of positioning and meanwhile keep a good compatibility with existing systems.

In various embodiments, techniques are provided for deploying a positioning applet to a SIM (e.g., a physical SIM card or an embedded SIM (eSIM)/integrated SIM (iSIM)) via an over-the-air (OTA) update or by permanent programming (i.e. “burning in”) during manufacture. The positioning applet may run solely on a processor of the SIM, functioning without support of application, OS or baseband software executing on the CPU or baseband processor of the UE, or network deployed infrastructure support. In operation, the positioning applet collects positioning measurements from a baseband processor (e.g., a baseband chipset) of the UE (e.g., via 3GPP protocols) which are sent (e.g., as an encrypted payload) to a remote location platform that compares the positioning measurements to known positioning data in a database (e.g., a crowd sourced database) to determine UE position. The remote location platform may provide an estimated position to a designated recipient system, without involvement of the UE.

A method is disclosed that includes gathering one or more pieces of crowdsourcing information indicative of one or more positions at which the at least one mobile device is located during the gathering. The method also includes collecting one or more performance indicators indicative of measurable information associated with the gathering of the one or more pieces of crowdsourcing information. The one or more performance indicators enable an evaluation of the gathering of the one or more pieces of crowdsourcing information. The method further includes providing the collected one or more performance indicators. An according apparatus, computer program and system are also disclosed.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for reporting positioning measurements. One method includes receiving positioning measurement configuration information including: a list of candidate beams, wherein each candidate beam of the list of candidate beams is associated with a positioning reference signal; a priority indicator; a temporal switching criteria; and/or a reporting criteria for positioning. The reporting criteria includes a positioning reference signal received power, a non-line-of-sight measurement indicator, a line-of-sight measurement indicator, and/or a reporting priority for each candidate beam of the list of candidate beams. The method includes measuring a positioning reference signal associated with each candidate beam of the list of candidate beams based on an associated positioning reference signal configuration. The method includes reporting positioning measurements based on the reporting criteria for at least one candidate beam of the list of candidate beams.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to another UE, a positioning request associated with a procedure for determining a position of the UE, wherein the positioning request comprises a sidelink communication between a first sidelink location management component (S-LMC) of the UE and a second S-LMC of the other UE, wherein the first S-LMC and the second S-LMC comprise sub-functions associated with a vehicle-to-everything protocol layer; and receive a positioning report associated with the procedure for determining the position of the UE, wherein the positioning report comprises an indication of the position of the UE based at least in part on a determination by a sidelink location management function. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method for modifying a repeat interval of a locator beacon is described. The method includes transmitting repeatedly, by a beacon transmitter, a first advertising beacon signal through a first number of transmission repetitions spaced at a first repeat interval. The method further includes transmitting repeatedly, by the beacon transmitter, a second advertising beacon signal through a second number of transmission repetitions at a second repeat interval, wherein the second advertising beacon signal includes an identifier that provides identification of the beacon transmitter and user information. The method further includes receiving a modification instruction from a user device. The modification instruction is configured to modify the first repeat interval into a third repeat interval. The method also includes transmitting repeatedly, by a beacon transmitter, the first beacon signal through the first number of transmission repetitions spaced at the third repeat interval.

Disclosed are techniques for group reporting of UE receive-transmit (Rx-Tx) time difference measurements for multi-RTT positioning. A plurality of downlink reference signals (DL RSs) are received from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs). A corresponding plurality of uplink reference signals (UL RSs) are transmitted to the plurality of TRPs. One or more numerology factors are determined for the plurality of TRPs. A measurement report is generated for the plurality of TRPs based on the numerology factors. The measurement report is transmitted to a network entity. The measurement report includes UE receive-transmit (Rx-Tx) time difference measurements for at least two of the TRPs.

A locator system and method of use is disclosed. The locator system may be used to receive radiolocation signals, calculate location data based on the radiolocation signals, and send the current location data over a telecommunication network to a server computer. A client may request the location data from the server computer and the server may send the location data to the client.
