Provided is an electronic device including a memory storing identifiers of a plurality of access points (APs) and position information associated with the plurality of APs, at least one communication circuit, and at least one processor operatively connected with the memory and the at least one communication circuit. The electronic device may be configured to receive an AP list including information on a plurality of first APs using the communication circuit, obtain a representative position corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of first APs based on positions corresponding to the plurality of first APs stored in the memory, and update position information of at least one second AP of the plurality of first APs stored in the memory based at least on the representative position if a position of the at least one second AP is a specified distance or more away from the representative position. In addition to the above, various embodiments identified through the specification are possible.

A method for preventing unauthorized access of privileged operations of a first device. The method provides for one or more processors to detect an initiating action of a privileged operation of a first device. The one or more processors receive a current location of the first device. The one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined location matches the current location of the first device. In response to determining the current location of the first device fails to match the predetermined location, the one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined connection condition exists between the first device and an authorized device, and in response to determining an absence of the pre-determined connection condition between the first device and the authorized device, the one or more processors perform a first action disabling the privileged operation of the first device.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a configuration message including at least one information element indicating whether the UE is permitted to initiate sidelink-based positioning sessions, and transmits a positioning reference signal (PRS) request to at least one UE based on the at least one information element indicating that the UE is permitted to initiate sidelink-based positioning sessions.

Examples described herein provide automatic location of access points by a computing device. Examples may include receiving, by the computing device from each AP in a subset of a plurality of APs, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal measurement, and based on each received GNSS signal measurement, constraining, by the computing device, the map of relative AP locations by at least one translational degree of freedom or one rotational degree of freedom. Examples may include resolving, by the computing device, locations of the plurality of APs in the map of relative AP locations.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that includes a first wireless network transceiver; a second wireless network transceiver; a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of establishing a wireless network connection to an access point via the first wireless network transceiver, wherein the access point provides a temporary network name for the wireless network connection, wherein the temporary network name is different from an original network name; providing wireless networking services via the second wireless network transceiver using the original network name; adjusting a coverage area of the wireless networking services; and connecting a network device in the coverage area to the wireless networking services via the second wireless network transceiver. Other embodiments are disclosed.

This document describes techniques and systems for indoor localization using Bluetooth high-accuracy distance measurement (HADM). In examples, the described systems and techniques perform a signal-strength scan to identify multiple anchor points and then pair, based on the signal-strength scan, the tagged device with a first anchor point of the identified anchor points. A HADM time slot is set for the first anchor point and at least two additional anchor points of the identified anchor points. A HADM event is initiated, the HADM event including sending a HADM ping and receiving HADM responses from two or more of the identified anchor points. Based on at least a time of receipt of HADM responses received from the two or more of the identified anchor points, the location of the tagged device is calculated.

Systems and methods for cell ID disambiguation are described. In one embodiment, a method may be disclosed for constructing a neighbor table, comprising: receiving, at a mobile base station, a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a detected neighbor base station from a user equipment (UE); receiving a global positioning system (GPS) position of the mobile base station; and associating the GPS position of the mobile base station with the PCI of the detected neighbor base station in a neighbor table.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe signaling of positioning measurement indications or measurement gap requests. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A system (1) for selecting one or more devices in a wireless network for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection comprises at least one processor (5) configured to determine a suitability of each of a plurality of devices (11-15) for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection, select a subset of devices from the 5 plurality of devices based on the suitability determined for each of the plurality of devices, and instruct at least one of the subset of devices to act as a device for transmitting, receiving and/or processing a radio frequency signal for presence and/or location detection.

A terminal number estimating system includes: a plurality of receivers that receive a wireless signal transmitted from a plurality of terminal devices by frequency-division multiple access; a Fourier transform unit that performs a discrete Fourier transform on each wireless signal received by the plurality of reception means and outputs a discrete Fourier coefficient; and a terminal number estimation unit that estimates a position of each terminal device by clustering a resource block of each wireless signal based on each discrete Fourier coefficient.
