A method of tracking a recyclable product includes activating one or more communications devices embedded within or attached to at least one part of the recyclable product. The one or more communications devices include circuitry configured to monitor a location of the at least one part of the recyclable product, and to communicate via a wireless communications network. In response to the one or more communications devices being activated, the one or more communications devices switch from an inactive state in which the one or more communications devices do not transmit an indication of the location of the at least one part of the recyclable product to a recycling state in which the one or more communications devices transmit the indication of the location of the at least one part of the recyclable product to a tracking entity via the wireless communications network. An arrangement is provided in which a product may be recycled by a party which is independent from the consumer of the product and a manufacturer of the product and the recycling may be tracked by the consumer or another entity to monitor a recycling of the product.

Embodiments described herein relate to predicting the utilization of electric vehicle (EV) charge points. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a plurality of candidate locations for EV charge points; determining static map features of the plurality of candidate locations; inputting the plurality of candidate locations and static map features into a machine learning model, where the machine learning model is trained on existing EV charge point locations, existing EV charge point static map features, and existing EV charge point utilization; determining, based on the machine learning model, a predicted utilization of an EV charge point at the plurality of candidate locations; and generating a representation of a map including the plurality of candidate locations, where candidate locations of the plurality of candidate locations are visually distinguished based on a respective predicted utilization of an EV charge point at the candidate locations.

Techniques are provided for handling positioning sessions in response to a timing source outage. An example method for configuring a positioning method based on a timing source outage includes receiving an indication of the timing source outage from a station, determining the positioning method based at least in part on the indication of the timing source outage, and sending an indication of the positioning method to one or more network entities.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a relative location anchor group (RLAG) may facilitate a position estimation procedure in an environment where absolute position estimation accuracy is below a threshold. An absolute position estimate derived via the RLAG may optionally be transformed to a true (or more accurate) position estimate via transformation information. In some cases, new anchors may be added to the RLAG after performing a position estimation procedure with the RLAG. In other designs, a local coordinate system (LCS) may be used for position estimation in lieu of a global coordinate system (GCS), such as WGS 84.

Techniques for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive first control signaling that may indicate a second device in a wireless communications system. The first device may then identify, based on the received first control signaling, a set of devices for tracking the second device in the wireless communications system. In some examples, the first device may then transmit second control signaling to the identified set of devices for tracking the second device in the wireless communications system. The first device may then receive, based on the transmitted second control signaling, coordination information from the set of devices. The received coordination information may be associated with the second device. The coordination information collected by the set of devices may be used to predict changes in an environment surrounding the second device. By predicting dynamic changes in the environment, disruptions in wireless communication may be prevented.
