Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing cellular network enhancements may utilize sensors mounted on or within a cellular base stations to collect information concerning environmental and/or shelter conditions. The collected information may be used by processing devices to predict a future load on a cellular network and may be used to optimize the number of channels needed for a particular base station. The collected information may also be transmitted to electronic devices in a cell coverage area to inform users of the electronic devices of the detected environmental and/or shelter conditions.

Methods and apparatus for location based services for Enterprise Networks are described. UE position location determination methods and apparatus are described for use within Enterprise Networks (ENs) and methods for enhancing and improving communications between the ENs and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) for transmission of UE positioning information determined locally by the EN network are described. In one embodiment, the EN performs UE location positioning operations locally, including trilateration of the UEs operating within the EN. The EN uses inherent knowledge regarding the different types of EN cells deployed within the EN when performing the UE positioning determinations. The EN also accounts for errors in EN eNB deployments, inaccuracies in eNB positioning, and other EN cell characteristics when performing the UE location determinations. The EN communicates UE positioning information and EN-specific contextual information using an enhanced LPPa communications protocol and an enhanced MOCN gateway between the EN Core network and the MNO Core network.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a band-pass filter of a radio frequency front end (RFFE) of a user equipment (UE) receives an analog radio frequency (RF) signal having a first bandwidth associated with a first sampling rate, the analog RF signal comprising a positioning reference signal (PRS). An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the UE samples the analog RF signal at a second sampling rate to generate a digital RF signal representing the analog RF signal, wherein the ADC operates at a second bandwidth lower than the first bandwidth, and wherein the second sampling rate is lower than the first sampling rate by an inverse of a folding factor for the first bandwidth. The digital RF signal is then output to a baseband processor of the UE.

The present application relates to the field of wireless communications, in particular, to a measurement method and device, used for solving the problem in the art that there is no specific solution for a terminal to perform OTDOA measurement in a NR system. In embodiments of the present application, a terminal determines a detected first beam reference signal, and sends a request message to an LMF entity, receive first positioning assistance data comprising second beam information of a second beam reference signal sent by the LMF entity, measure the second beam reference signal of an adjacent base station according to the first positioning assistance data. Therefore, it is ensured that the LMF entity can accurately provide the positioning assistance data to a UE according to first beam information of the first beam reference signal, the time and power consumption of the terminal for searching the second beam reference signal are reduced, and the system performance is further improved.
