Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for signaling of reception-to-transmission measurements from gNBs and user equipments (UEs) for round trip time (RTT) based positioning in wireless networks such as new radio (NR). In multi-RTT positioning, the flow of messages that are exchanged differ depending on the entity acting as the location server determining the position of the UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a serving base station, a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) indicating activation or deactivation of a semi-persistent (SP) sounding reference signal (SRS)-for-positioning, wherein a reserved bit in the MAC-CE or a logical channel identifier (LCID) of a MAC subheader of the MAC-CE indicates the activation or deactivation of the SP SRS-for-positioning, and transmits the SP SRS-for-positioning on one or more SRS resources configured for the UE, the SP SRS-for-positioning having transmission parameters adopted from a spatial relation reference signal for the SP SRS-for-positioning.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE receives a positioning configuration, the positioning configuration including at least an identifier of a first downlink reference signal from a neighboring cell to be used for estimating a downlink path loss or determining an uplink spatial transmit beam, determines that a first downlink reference signal received from the neighboring cell cannot be used for estimating the downlink path loss or determining the uplink spatial transmit beam, in response to the determination, estimating the downlink path loss or determining the uplink spatial transmit beam based on a second downlink reference signal received from the neighboring cell or a serving cell, and transmits an uplink reference signal for positioning based on the estimated downlink path loss, the determined uplink spatial transmit beam, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a network entity, a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) configurations for one or more serving or neighboring transmission-reception points (TRPs), receiving, from the network entity, a set of parameters that indicate time and frequency locations of one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of the one or more serving or neighboring TRPs, and determining which PRS of the plurality of PRS configurations have been punctured by the one or more SSBs based on the set of parameters.

Abstract: A reference signal periodically transmitted by a base station in a wireless network can have certain proprietary properties to help prevent detection and utilization of the signal for unauthorized positioning of mobile devices. More specifically, a network node can obscure and introduce time-variation in mapping between positioning signals and a corresponding physical base stations. The network node may also introduce time variations in fields of a base station almanac (BSA) provided to subscribing user equipments (UEs). The information transmitted to the subscribing UEs may be encrypted.

Abstract: A Location Management Component (LMC) may be included in a gNB and connected to a gNB Central Unit (gNB-CU). The gNB-CU receives location related messages from any of (i) a UE via a gNB Distributed Units (gNB-DU), (ii) another gNB via an Xn interface, or (iii) a core network entity (e.g. AMF) via an NG interface. These messages can be transported in container messages (e.g., an RRC container for LPP messages sent to or received from a UE; an NGAP container for messages sent to or received from an AMF, or an XnAP container for messages sent to or received from another gNB). The gNB-CU removes the location related messages from the container messages and forwards them to an LMC using F1-AP container messages. Location related messages sent from an LMC to other entities are transported in a reverse manner through a gNB-CU using corresponding container messages.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for using sounding reference signal (SRS) for positioning. In an aspect, a UE receives an SRS configuration, the SRS configuration defining one or more SRS resource sets, each SRS resource set comprising one or more SRS resources, and each SRS resource comprising one or more SRS ports, wherein at least one SRS port of at least one SRS resource of at least one SRS resource set defined in the SRS configuration is usable by the UE at least for positioning. The UE transmits a positioning SRS utilizing one or more positioning SRS ports, wherein the positioning SRS is transmitted in a positioning SRS pattern such that across N consecutive symbols, where N is greater than or equal to two, SRS resource elements (REs) to which the one or more positioning SRS ports are mapped are staggered in frequency and use each of the N consecutive symbols.
