Techniques are provided in which a target UE can be provided with a processing window (PW) configuration that defines a PW during which the target UE may measure one or more RS resources. The PW optionally may allow the target UE to transmit an uplink (UL) RS. The PW configuration may be provided to the target UE by a serving base station of the target UE in response to a request for the PW configuration by the target UE or a location server. The request may include information regarding an RS configuration provided to the target UE.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an assisting node in a cellular positioning system may obtain one or more carrier phase measurements. The assisting node may transmit, and a positioning node in the cellular positioning system may receive, phase error related information associated with the one or more carrier phase measurements. Numerous other aspects are described.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One or more anchor nodes, which may be sidelink devices, may transmit positioning reference signals (PRSs) to a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE). The UE may select one or more PRSs to process based on respective priorities of the PRSs. At least one anchor node may transmit a priority indication including the respective priorities, or the one or more anchor nodes may transmit the PRSs according to a scrambling sequence or pattern to implicitly indicate the respective priorities. The UE may decode one or more PRSs based on the respective priorities.

Techniques are provided for reducing the delay in accumulating positioning measurements and improving positioning latency. An example method for reducing positioning measurement latency in a wireless network includes receiving assistance data including configuration information for a plurality of positioning reference signals, determining measurement gap requirements, requesting measurement gaps based on the measurement gap requirements, receiving measurement gap configuration information, determining a mobility state, and measuring or transmitting one or more positioning reference signals based at least in part on the measurement gap configuration information and the mobility state.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, estimating a location of a mobile device based on a first wireless signal transmitted by one of a first group of wireless anchors of a first location service operating within a first area. Ranges between the mobile device and a group of wireless reference devices are determined responsive to the location indicating the mobile device is proximate to a predetermined transition region. A handover requirement is identified according to the range information and, responsive to this requirement, the mobile device is configured to receive a second wireless signal transmitted one of a second group of wireless anchors of a second location service operating within a second area. The location of the mobile device may be determined according to the second wireless signal, without reference to the first wireless signal. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A positioning processing method applied to a base station is provided. The positioning processing method includes: receiving a first positioning reference signal from a first terminal device; receiving a second positioning reference signal from a second terminal device bound to the first terminal device; determining position information of the first terminal device based on the first positioning reference signal and the second positioning reference signal; and sending the position information to at least one of the first terminal device or he second terminal device.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives one or more positioning reference signals from a first transmission-reception point (TRP) involved in a positioning session with the UE, detects whether or not there is a positioning bias event associated with the first TRP based on one or more parameters related to the one or more positioning reference signals, the positioning bias event affecting an accuracy of a location estimate of the UE, and transmits, in response to the detection that there is a positioning bias event, a report of the positioning bias event to a network node. Upon receiving the report, the network node performs one or more corrective actions to address the positioning bias event.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity (e.g., UE, gNB, LMF, etc.) identifies a pool of UEs for a SL-assisted position estimation procedure of a set of target UEs. SL SRS-Ps are communicated (e.g., transmitted and measured) between the pool of UEs (e.g., for relative SL ranging). UL SRS-Ps are communicated by at least some of the UEs in the pool of UEs. The position estimation entity obtains measurement data for both the SL SRS-P and UL-SRS-P communications. The position estimation entity determines a position estimate for each UE in the set of UEs based on the measurement information.

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for beam group reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, multiple PRS resources, e.g., a beam group, received by a user equipment (UE) from the same network entity may be used to produce a combined Time of Arrival (TOA) measurement for the reference or target to derive an Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) estimate. The UE provides to a network entity an indication of the PRS resources in the beam group, which may be specifically or generally identified. Additionally, parameters associated with the beam group are provided, such as a relative quality of the TOA measurement for each PRS resource in the subset, a spread of the TOA measurements in the subset, a relative signal strength of each PRS resource in the subset, or a spread of the signal strength in the subset.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system supporting sidelink is provided. The method comprises receiving from at least one second terminal location information of the second terminal and reliability information for the location information of the second terminal, selecting at least one second terminal to be used for location measurement of the first terminal based on the reliability information, and determining a location of the first terminal based location information of at least one second terminal selected based on the reliability information.
