A method is described for locating an electronic device in the vicinity of an array having a central unit and anchors connected to the central unit. The method is applied during at least a communication cycle comprising a plurality of time slots each allocated to a distinct anchor. The method involves receiving an initiation signal from the electronic device, performing an election of a set of anchor(s) based on the reception quality of the initiation signal, emitting a reply signal during a respective allocated time slot, operating the electronic device in a first configuration during the time slots which are not allocated to one of the anchors the elected set, operating the electronic device in a second configuration during the time slot allocated to the elected set to detect and receive a reply signal, and calculating a location of the electronic device based on the reply signal.

In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may control one or more reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) in accordance with one or more RIS schedules that indicate times when the one or more RIS are in an enabled state and times when the one or more RIS are in a disabled state. The UE may request at least one participating UE of one or more participating UEs to transmit at least one positioning reference signal (PRS) in a PRS resource. The UE may measure the at least one PRS from the at least one participating UE in accordance with the RIS schedule to make one or more measurements of the at least one PRS when the one or more RIS are in the disabled state and to make one or more measurements of the at least one PRS when the one or more RIS are in the enabled state.

Disclosed are some examples of techniques for positioning of a user equipment (UE) using positioning reference signal (PRS). One or more units of messages may be communicated between an initiator UE and a responder UE. A unit of message may include a pre-PRS message, a PRS message and a post-PRS message. The pre-PRS message and the post-PRS message may be sent or received using a license spectrum. The PRS message may be sent or received using an unlicensed spectrum. The communication between the initiator UE and the responder UE may be initiated by the initiator UE identifying the responder UE from a plurality of UEs based on positioning properties of the responder UE. The positioning properties of the responder UE may include one or more of a direction, a velocity, a location confidence and a location of the responder UE.
