Aspects described herein may allow for vehicle tracking. Systems and methods described herein may allow a vehicle to automatically detect the presence of a physical marker at a parking space. An image of the physical marker may be processed to determine the location of the vehicle, which may be stored and/or output for display.

A system comprising a first apparatus, a second apparatus and a third apparatus, wherein the first apparatus is configured to provide, to a second apparatus, information regarding a number of antennas and/or an oversampling factor; the second apparatus is configured to transmit a plurality of beams in accordance with the information received from the first apparatus regarding the number of antennas and the oversampling factor; the third apparatus configured to receive a plurality of beamformed reference signals transmitted by the second apparatus, obtain measurement results for at least two of the plurality of beamformed reference signals, wherein the measurement results comprise one or more of: reference signal received power value, beam identifier, a value indicating uncertainty of the accuracy of the reference signal received power value; and transmit the measurement results to the second apparatus; and wherein the second apparatus is further configured to: process the received measurement results to obtain information regarding a position of the third apparatus and to transmit the obtained information regarding the position of the third apparatus to the first apparatus; and wherein the first apparatus is further configured to receive further measurement results from at least one further apparatus in addition to the second apparatus and to determine the location of the third apparatus based on the received measurement results and the received further measurement results.

Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to crowdsource the location of wireless devices and accessories that lack a connection to a wide area network. One embodiment provides for a data processing system configured to perform operations comprising loading a user interface on an electronic device, the user interface to enable the determination of a location of a wireless accessory that is associated with the electronic device, generating a set of public keys included within a signal broadcast by the wireless accessory, the signal broadcast during a first period, sending the set of public keys to a server with a request to return data that corresponds with a public key in the set of public keys, decrypting the location data using a private key associated with the public key, and processing the location data to determine a probable location for the wireless accessory.

A system and methods are disclosed for reducing Rx/Tx timing errors in a wireless network for latency of positioning measurements. Additionally, a system and methods are disclosed for increasing positioning accuracy by mitigating NLOS errors and/or by performing two-stage beam sweeping for DL-AoD. Further, a system and methods are disclosed for performing M-sample positioning measurements to improve latency reporting in connection with positioning reporting.

There is provided a method for an apparatus for a location service, the method comprising: receiving, from a network function, a location request to determine a location of a terminal, the location request comprising a first indication of a first area: determining whether the terminal is inside or outside of the first area; and sending, to the network function, a second indication of whether the terminal is inside or outside of the first area.

An electronic equipment, a user equipment, a wireless communication method, and a storage medium. An electronic equipment configured in a wireless communication system that comprises a single base station equipment comprises a processing circuit and is configured to: estimate the distance between a network side equipment and a user equipment according to a downlink signal arrival angle measured by the user equipment and an uplink signal arrival angle measured by the network side equipment; and determine the position of the user equipment according to the distance between the network side equipment and the user equipment as well as the uplink signal arrival angle.

The present disclosure pertains to utilizing hardware and software to control and record environmental and other data obtained from sensors and other devices, placed throughout a facility, and analyzing and displaying the information in a detailed status report of the environmental conditions inside facility, and once analyzed, the software can provide recommendations to implement measures that increase the efficiency of the facility.

A user equipment (UE) generates a positioning state information (PSI) report to be transmitted in a lower layer channel, e.g., in the Physical or Medium Access Control channel, to a network entity to reduce latency. The PSI reports may be generated based on information from uplink (UL), downlink (DL) or UL and DL positioning measurements performed by the UE. When multiple PSI reports collide, e.g., to be transmitted simultaneously, or when a PSI report and a Channel State Information (CSI) report collide, prioritization of the reports is performed using priority rules based at least in part on positioning related content of the PSI reports. The PSI report or CSI report with the highest priority is transmitted to the network entity on the lower layer channel, and lower priority reports may be omitted. A network entity may receive and process the PSI report based on the priority based rules.

A user equipment (UE) generates a positioning state information (PSI) report that is transmitted in a lower layer channel container, e.g., in the Physical channel or Medium Access Control channel, to a network entity to reduce latency. For example, the PSI report is generated based on a plurality of PSI report elements determined from uplink (UL), downlink (DL) or UL and DL positioning measurements. Each PSI report element includes information related to positioning measurements performed by the UE. The PSI report elements are ordered, e.g., from highest priority to lowest priority, according to priority based rules. If the size of the PSI report elements is larger than the lower layer channel container, one or more of the low priority PSI report elements are omitted from the PSI report. A network entity may receive and process the PSI report based on the same priority based rules.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to positioning target device. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the location of the target device is measured by two anchor devices. The distances between the target device at a location and the anchor devices are measured and the distances between the target device at a further location and the anchor devices are also measured. The location of the target device is estimated based on the distances. In this way, fewer anchor devices are used to perform the positioning.
