This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, for measurement and reporting procedures associated with a sidelink positioning reference signal (SL-PRS). In one aspect, a first user equipment (UE), which may function as a sidelink anchor node, may transmit an SL-PRS to a second UE in accordance with a slot format or structure that is dedicated for SL-PRS transmissions. The first UE may select resources for the transmission of the SL-PRS via sensing and exclusion or using a set of resources that are dedicated for SL-PRS transmissions. The second UE may receive the SL-PRS and use the SL-PRS to acquire positioning information, in accordance with an observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA)-based positioning method, or may transmit a second SL-PRS to the first UE to facilitate acquisition of positioning information at the first UE, in accordance with a round-trip-time (RTT)-based positioning method.

The first electronic device for establishing a connection includes at least one sensor, a first communication interface, a second communication interface, and at least one processor being configured to obtain first location information of the first electronic device through the at least one sensor, obtain second location information of the second electronic device from the external electronic device or the second electronic device, determine connection operation information indicating at least one operation to be performed to establish a communication link with the second electronic device and at least one parameter to be used for the at least one operation, and establish the communication link with the second electronic device.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to receive a connection request with a short-range communication device through the communication circuit in a state registered with a first account in a location finding service, to request configuration information related to the location finding service to the short-distance communication device, to receive configuration information stored based on a second account of the short-range communication device from the short-range communication device, to identify whether group account information corresponding to the first account and group account information corresponding to the second account match, and to establish a connection with the short-range communication device while maintaining the second account of the short-range communication device in response to matching of group account information of the short-range communication device and the electronic device.

A method and apparatus for transmitting positioning information in sidelink communication system is provided. A first wireless device determines positioning information of the first wireless device based on a position of the first wireless device. A first wireless device split the positioning information into first positioning information and second positioning information. A first wireless device transmits, to a second wireless device, the first positioning information via sidelink control information (SCI). A first wireless device transmits, to the second wireless device, the second positioning information via a data unit.

Electronic devices are disclosed herein. Each device includes a display, communication circuitry and a processor. For each device, the respective processor executes registering a geographic locale indicator for the electronic device via a universally unique identified (UUID), equipment identity register (EIR) or manufacturer information. For a first device, a setup mode is executed, including transmitting the UUID, EIR, or manufacturer information to a second device, which may then determine is communication is possible with the first device based on the geographic locale indicator. The first device may receive a response indicative of whether the locales between the devices match. Based on the same, the first and/or second device may also display an indication as to whether communication is possible with the second device.

One disclosure of the present specification provides a method for operating in relay user equipment (UE). The method may comprise the steps of: receiving a communication request message directly from a first remote UE; performing a procedure for establishing an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity and a protocol data unit (PDU) session; and storing mapping information between an identifier of a PCS link with the first remote UE and an identifier of the PDU session on the basis of the PDU session being established for an unstructured PDU session type for unstructured traffic.
