Systems and methods are described for determining position of a receiver. The positioning system comprises a transmitter network including transmitters that broadcast positioning signals. The positioning system comprises a remote receiver that acquires and tracks the positioning signals and/or satellite signals. The satellite signals are signals of a satellite-based positioning system. A first mode of the remote receiver uses terminal-based positioning in which the remote receiver computes a position using the positioning signals and/or the satellite signals. The positioning system comprises a server coupled to the remote receiver. A second operating mode of the remote receiver comprises network-based positioning in which the server computes a position of the remote receiver from the positioning signals and/or satellite signals, where the remote receiver receives and transfers to the server the positioning signals and/or satellite signals.

Embodiments herein provide for a Low-Frequency (LF) broadcast system that improves on the LORAN-C system to help optimize the use of available spectrum while modernizing the signal structure of broadcast signals. In particular, embodiments can utilize an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal structure to broadcast timing and data signals in successive symbols of an OFDM resource block. Signals can include, for example, comb-1, comb-2, or comb-3 signal structures. Other signal aspects such as muting schemes, modulation, frequency offsets, and the like may vary, depending on desired functionality.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine a transmission beam configuration for transmitting multicast data to a user equipment (UE) in a joint transmission using a set of transmission/reception points (TRPs) based on outcomes of listen before talk (LBT) procedures performed at the TRPs. In some examples, the base station may indicate to the UE that the UE is to determine a UE beam configuration and a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship associated with the TRPs for receiving the multicast data based on signaling from the TRPs. In some examples, the base station may transmit multicast data from a first TRP (e.g., a serving cell) during a first transmission opportunity (TxOP), and the UE may determine the QCL relationship for the set of TRPs. During a second TxOP, the base station may transmit multicast data in a joint transmission from the set of TRPs.

A method performed by a wireless communication device for reducing handover delay, wherein the wireless communication device is arranged to operate in a cellular communication system and to operate in a cell using unlicensed spectrum. The method includes receiving a downlink, DL, signal from network node operating a neighbouring cell operating in the unlicensed spectrum, wherein the DL signal includes a discovery reference signal, DRS, subframe, storing data associated with the DRS subframe, receiving a handover command from a network node operating a serving cell where the neighbouring cell is a target cell, and performing a random access procedure for handover to the target cell. A device performing the method and a computer program for implementing the method are also disclosed.

Embodiments of a system and method for providing DRX enhancements in LTE systems are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a system control module is provided for controlling communications via a communications interface. A processor is coupled to the system control module and is arranged to implement an inactivity timer and an on-duration timer for determining an active time for monitoring subframes on the physical downlink control channel for control signals, the processor further monitoring subframes after the active time.

The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. A wireless communications system may support unicast and broadcast communications for different radio access technologies (RATs). To support the coexistence of different RATs, a user equipment (UE) may report, to a base station, a UE capability message containing a band combination including one or more bands for a first RAT (for example, New Radio (NR)) and one or more bands for a second RAT (for example, Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and an indication of a baseband budget for the second RAT for the band combination. In some implementations, the UE may transmit a broadcast interest indicator to the base station requesting a broadcast service. The base station may configure the UE with a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration based on the UE capabilities, such as the band combination and corresponding baseband budget for the second RAT, and the interest indicator.
