Techniques are provided for positioning of user equipment (UE) with paging messages. An example method for positioning a user equipment with paging messages includes receiving a positioning paging message with a user equipment in an idle state, measuring positioning measurements in response to receiving the positioning paging message, determining location information based at least in part on the positioning measurements, and transmitting the location information via a random access procedure.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may select one or more transmission types for communication on a plurality of beams during a time period based at least in part on transmission type priorities, and communicate on the plurality of beams during the time period based at least in part on selecting the one or more transmission types for communication. In some other aspects, a base station may receive an indication of one or more transmission types that a user equipment selected for communication on a plurality of beams during a time period and receive the one or more transmission types the UE selected for communication on the plurality of beams. In some further aspects, a network node for wireless communications may determine configuration information for a positioning reference signal, PRS, operation by a user equipment and transmit the configuration information to a base station that schedules communications for the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Determining when an estimated altitude of a mobile device can be used for calibration or location determination. Particular systems and methods determine an area in which the mobile device is expected to reside, determine an altitude value of each section of a plurality of sections in the area, determine if the altitude values meet a threshold condition, and determine that the estimated altitude of the mobile device can be used for determining the position of the mobile device or for calibrating a pressure sensor of the mobile device when the altitude values meet the threshold condition.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus for locating a mobile railway asset is provided that includes a power source, GNSS circuitry configured to utilize electrical power from the power source to receive GNSS data, and a controller operatively coupled to the power source and the GNSS circuitry. The controller has a power saving mode wherein the controller inhibits the GNSS circuitry from receiving GNSS data and a standard accuracy mode wherein the controller permits the GNSS circuitry to receive GNSS data for a first time period. The controller has a higher accuracy mode wherein the controller permits the GNSS circuitry to receive GNSS data for a second time period longer than the first time period, and subsequently across multiple instances, in order to collect more GNSS data that can be qualified, filtered, sorted, and averaged to produce a more accurate result.

A example method of determining a positioning signal measurement includes: sending, from a user equipment to a network entity, a processing-capability message indicating a processing capability of the user equipment for processing an aggregated positioning reference signal, where the processing-capability message corresponds to one or more assistance-data types; obtaining, at the user equipment, the aggregated positioning reference signal; and processing, at the user equipment, the aggregated positioning reference signal based on assistance data to determine the positioning signal measurement, the assistance data including the one or more assistance-data types.

Determining location of a mobile device includes determining the proximity of the mobile device to a predetermined location. Based on the proximity determination, a locational accuracy criterion is selected and the location of the mobile device is determined according to the selected locational accuracy criterion.

Disclosed are an information transmission method and device, for determining positioning reference signal resource configuration information and a positioning technical scheme by means of a negotiation process between a positioning server and other nodes, so as to avoid that neighboring base stations may send positioning reference signals on the same time and frequency resources, causing the positioning reference signals of neighboring base stations to interfere with each other, resulting in the degradation of downlink positioning measurement performance, and to enable each base station to optimize the configuration of the positioning reference signal according to the positioning performance requirements of a terminal, thereby improving the positioning performance. The information transmission method provided by the present application comprises: determining positioning reference signal resource configuration information and a positioning technical scheme by means of a negotiation process between a positioning server and other nodes; and notifying the other nodes of the positioning reference signal resource configuration information and the positioning technical scheme.

Tracking devices can be associated with safe zones, smart zones, and high risk zones. Safe zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the safe zone is lower than outside the safe zone. High risk zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the high risk zone is higher than outside the high risk zone. Smart zones correspond to an expected tracking device, mobile device, or user behavior. Home areas are geographic regions in which a user resides, and travel areas are geographic regions in which a user does not reside. A tracking device can be configured to operate in a mode selected based on a presence of the tracking device within a safe zone, a smart zone, a high risk zone, a home area, or a travel area.

A positioning method, device, system, terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The positioning method may include: continuously and at intervals sending broadcast packets including at least RSU location information and message sending time to the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) apparatus (100) through at least 3 road side units (RSUs) (RSU1, RSU2, RSU3) with fixed locations; when the positioning system of the V2X apparatus (100) is abnormal, by using the information in the broadcast packets and the information at the time before the abnormality of the positioning system of the V2X apparatus (100), calculating and obtaining the location information of the V2X apparatus (100) in real time.

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.
