A method is disclosed for determining an appropriate transmit power of a cell based on a desired coverage distance, comprising: initializing, at a cell, a cell reference signal transmit power at a high power level; broadcasting a cell signal power measure to require a high signal power level for user devices attempting to connect to the cell; progressively lowering the cell signal power measure at the cell; broadcasting the lowered cell signal power measure; deriving a plurality of user equipment (UE) attach request distances based on a plurality of propagation delay statistics derived from UE attach requests received at the cell; comparing the plurality of UE attach request distances against a maximum distance to obtain a number of UE attach requests received from UEs physically located beyond the maximum distance; and setting the cell reference signal transmit power based on the number of UE attach requests received from beyond the maximum distance, thereby iteratively determining an appropriate cell reference signal transmit power based on the maximum distance and on UE attach requests received at the cell.

A method of determining locations of devices in a peer-to-peer network includes, at a first device, performing an intrinsic location measurement using a plurality of inertial measurement units of the first device and broadcasting to other devices first location information of the first device based on the intrinsic location measurement. The method further includes, at a second device, receiving the first location measurement information of the first device from the first device, receiving second location measurement information of the first device from a third device, and comparing the first and second location information of the first device. Based on whether the first and second location information match, the method includes, at the second device, adjusting a trust factor for the first device and broadcasting the adjusted trust factor and consensus location information of the first device.

In an aspect, a first user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, a capability enquiry message for a sidelink positioning procedure, the capability enquiry message including at least a request for an indication of whether the first UE has the capability to provide a location of the first UE for the sidelink positioning procedure, and transmits, to the network node, a capability information message indicating one or more capabilities of the first UE to participate in the sidelink positioning procedure, the one or more capabilities of the first UE including at least the indication of whether the first UE has the capability to provide the location of the first UE for the sidelink positioning procedure.

A method includes receiving a ground-truth motion indication from a measurement device. The ground-truth motion indication is a time series of locations and a corresponding indication of a motion state at each location of the time series of locations. The method also includes receiving a time series of detected motion states based on wireless signals communicated through a space over a time period by a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of wireless communication devices. The detected motion states for a time interval within the time series are compared to the ground-truth motion indication for the time interval within the time series to generate a time series of consistency scores. The consistency scores are processed to produce an aggregate motion-detection capability score at each location. The method also includes providing, for display as a graphical representation of motion-detection capability within the space, the aggregate motion-detection capability at each location.

A positioning method includes separately sending, by a terminal, a request for obtaining assistance data to a serving base station and a neighboring cell base station; separately receiving, by the terminal, assistance data from the serving base station and the neighboring cell base station; identifying, by the terminal based on the assistance data, reference signals received from the serving base station and the neighboring cell base station; calculating, by the terminal, a time difference of arrival based on times at which the reference signals arrive at the terminal; and sending, by the terminal, the time difference to a server using an application layer protocol, to enable the server to calculate location information of the terminal.

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.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications (e.g., vehicle to everything systems) are described relating to an adaptive design of demodulation reference signals (DMRS) density based on user equipment (UE) velocity. A UE may send assistance information to a transmitting UE to help identify a DMRS pattern based on the relative speed between the two UEs. Also, the transmitter may determine the adaptive DMRS pattern based on its speed without information of the receiver's speed. The transmitter may indicate the adaptive DMRS pattern in control information to the receiver. A base station may receive assistance information, and the base station may determine the adaptive DMRS pattern to be used by the transmitting UE based on the received assistance information and then indicate the adaptive DMRS pattern to the transmitting UE. A UE may determine an adaptive DMRS pattern to use based on feedback from the receiving UE.

In one embodiment, a method performed by a UE for UE-assisted data collection for mobility prediction comprises receiving, from a network node of a cellular communications system, a UE trajectory prediction model for predicting a UE trajectory. The method further comprises executing the UE trajectory prediction model to generate a predicted trajectory for the UE, comparing the actual UE trajectory to the predicted UE trajectory, and sending, to a network node of the cellular communications system, a result of the comparison of the actual UE trajectory to the predicted UE trajectory. In this manner, mobility prediction performance is improved.

By opportunistically operating in the power-saving mode based on the power-saving condition, it is possible to reduce power consumption in the wireless device(s) without sacrificing user experience in the coverage cell.
