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 location management component (LMC) is provided for a mobile communication network. The LMC is configured to provide LMC configuration information, obtain privacy information relating to at least one user equipment (UE), obtain a location request according to the LMC configuration information, determine a position of the at least one UE, based on the privacy information and the location request, and provide a location response comprising the determined position.

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.
