Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain updated location information, and determine a time difference between a previous communication with a network and a scheduled uplink transmission. Based on the determined time difference, the UE may determine a timing advance (TA) component of a TA value to apply for the uplink transmission, and transmit an uplink message in the uplink transmission according to the determined TA value and the location information. In some examples, the time difference may be based on a first duration between the uplink transmission and a previous uplink transmission, a second duration between the uplink transmission and a previous TA command received from the network, or both. In some examples, the determined TA value may be based on additional parameters, such as an autonomous adjustment step, an aggregate adjustment rate, a scaling factor, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Aspects presented may enable RF sensing to be adaptive to the environment to improve the sensing, performance, and/or the spectrum efficiency of cellular systems and the power efficiency of RF sensing nodes. In one aspect, an RF sensing node extracts one or more features for a set of objects of an area via at least one non-RF sensor. The RF sensing node transmits, to a network entity, the one or more features or at least one non-RF measurement derived from the one or more features. The RF sensing node receives, from the network entity, an RRS transmission configuration derived based on the one or more features or the at least one non-RF measurement transmitted to the network entity.

Abstract: Wireless positioning accuracy of a user equipment (UE) is impacted by locations of the transmit/receive points (TRPs) and UE for wireless positioning. To improve the accuracy of estimated locations, a geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) may be determined for different groups of candidate TRPs, with the GDOP indicating a potential positioning error associated with the group of candidate TRPs. A UE may determine GDOPs for different combinations of candidate TRPs. One or more devices of a wireless network (e.g., a location server and/or a UE for positioning) may select or exclude one or more candidate TRPs from being used for wireless positioning of a UE based on the determined GDOPs. Exclusion or selection of candidate TRPs for wireless positioning may also be based on quality measurements of PRSs (such as an RSRP or SNR) or a time duration associated with measuring the PRSs from the candidate TRPs to be selected.

Abstract: Techniques are described for supporting user equipment (UE) positioning in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). To allow calculating a position/location of a UE based on reference signal (RS) measurements to and from one satellite (or a terrestrial base station), a device may be configured to calculate a doppler measurement and a range measurement and report such measurements to be used by a location server to calculate a UE position. An example device may receive a first RS (with the first RS being one of a positioning reference signal (PRS) or a sounding reference signal (SRS)), receive a second RS associated with the first RS, calculate a doppler measurement based on one or both of the first RS or the second RS, and report the doppler measurement. The doppler measurement (such as a measured frequency offset) may be used by a location server to calculate a UE position on the earth surface.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a user equipment (e.g., a mobile device) may receive a location request message from a server (e.g., a Location Management Function), wherein the location request message identifies a plurality of Quality of Service parameters for the LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) positioning session. In at least one embodiment, the user equipment may receive a selection of one or more Quality of Service parameters for the LPP positioning session. In at least one embodiment, the user equipment may configure the user equipment according to the one or more selected Quality of Service parameters. In at least one embodiment, the user equipment may generate a location response message according to the selected QoS parameters. The user equipment may send the location response message to the server. A UE can select the QoS parameters during communication with a server and/or with a second UE via sidelink communications.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE obtains measurement data associated with at least one PRS. The UE transmits, to a BS in a first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a first PSI report indicative of a first set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data. The UE further transmits, to the BS in a second L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity that is subsequent to the first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a second PSI report that is indicative of a second set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data, the second set of measurement values being refined from the first set of measurement values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless devices may support a prediction capability for prediction-based control information. A first device may receive, from a second device, first control signaling that activates the predication capability of the first device to generate a set of one or more control parameters for communications. The second device may transmit second control signaling to the first device to indicate initial values of the control parameters and a channel condition model for the first device. The first device and the second device may generate a set of multiple values associated with the control parameters over a time period based on the initial values of the control parameters and the channel condition model. The first device and the second device may communicate during at least the time period according to the set of generated values associated with the control parameters.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) performs at least one positioning measurement of at least one downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) received from a transmission-reception point (TRP) during a positioning session, reports, to a positioning entity, a value of the at least one positioning measurement via low layer signaling, and determines a timestamp for the at least one positioning measurement relative to a reference point, wherein the timestamp comprises an amount of time between the reference point and a time at which the at least one positioning measurement is valid.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a first node (e.g., a UE or a BS) performs a channel response measurement on a reference signal for positioning (e.g., UL reference signal such as SRS for positioning, or a DL PRS). The first node determines, for each of a plurality of peaks detected within the channel response measurement, peak-specific information comprising at least peak magnitude data that is based on a peak magnitude relative to a reference value. The first node reports the peak-specific information for the plurality of peaks to a second node (e.g., a BS, UE, or LMF). The second node receives the peak-specific information, and determines a positioning estimate for a UE based on the peak-specific information.

Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, the time that a user equipment (UE) spends on performing positioning reference signal (PRS) measurements is reduced, by lengthening the PRS measurement period (P) and/or by reducing the PRS symbol duration (K). These modifications may be performed by the UE or by a location management server or other network node and may be made in consideration of the UE's mobility status and other environmental or operating conditions of the UE. In an aspect, a network entity may determine P and K to be used by the UE, and may indicate, to the UE, the P and the K to be used by the UE for measuring at least one PRS. The UE may then use the P and the K for measuring at least one PRS.
