Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless position estimation of a user equipment (UE) involving one or more uplink (UL) relays. The UL relay(s) receives UL data communications from UEs, and relay the UL data communications to a serving network component (e.g., gNB) via a backhaul connection (wired or wireless). In an aspect, uplink relay(s) are selected by a network component for a position estimation session of a target UE. The uplink relay(s) measure UL SRS for positioning from the target UE, and report UL SRS measurement information to the network component and/or the serving network component.

Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) using a location server and service based interfaces (SBIs) and SBI service operations in a Fifth Generation wireless network. The location server may be, e.g., a Location Management Function (LMF). The LMF may be in either a serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for a UE or in a Home PLMN for a roaming UE. The LMF may receive a location service request for the UE using an SBI and may communicate with another entity in the network, through a second entity and using an SBI, to obtain location information for the UE measured by the other entity. The LMF may determine a location for the UE based on the location information.

Abstract: Access, mobility management and regulatory services are supported for satellite access to a Fifth Generation (5G) core network. A coverage area, e.g., country, region, multiple countries, and international areas, are divided into fixed virtual cells having well defined geographic boundaries and fixed tracking areas. Information for the virtual cells and/or tracking areas and associated with one or more public land mobile networks (PLMNs) may be provided to a user equipment (UE). The UE may obtain its position, e.g., using a satellite positioning system, and determine the serving virtual cell or tracking area in which it is located. The UE may perform registration with a serving core network in a serving PLMN associated with the serving virtual cell or tracking area. Regulatory services, such as emergency (EM) calls, lawful interception (LI), wireless emergency alerts (WEA) may be provided based on the serving virtual cell or tracking area.

Abstract: Sidelink positioning of user equipments (UEs) is supported by exchanging sidelink positioning messages between the UEs, where the messages may include sidelink positioning capabilities, sidelink positioning resources, sidelink Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) configurations, sidelink measurements and/or location results for one or more of the UEs, and may be used for determining the location results. Location results may include ranges, directions, locations, velocities, relative locations and relative velocities. Groups of UEs may be formed for sidelink positioning based on group criteria parameters that are used for determining UE inclusion or exclusion in a group, in a centralized or distributed group management procedure. Group management may additionally remove and add UEs and transfer UEs between groups. Network supported sidelink positioning may transfer sidelink positioning messages between a UE and a location server where a sidelink positioning message may be embedded in an LPP and/or SUPL message.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for environment sensing. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) performs a monostatic sensing operation to detect one or more characteristics of one or more objects in an environment of the UE, transmits, to a network entity, based on detection of the one or more characteristics of the one or more objects, a request for one or more network nodes to transmit one or more wireless sensing signals to assist the UE to perform a bistatic sensing operation, and performs the bistatic sensing operation based on reception of the one or more wireless sensing signals to detect additional characteristics of the one or more objects.

Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for providing on-demand positioning reference signals (PRS) to user equipment (UE). An example method for determining a location of a user equipment according to the disclosure includes receiving a first assistance data associated with a first positioning reference signal configuration, transmitting a request to modify one or more parameters of the first positioning reference signal configuration, receiving a second assistance data associated with a second positioning reference signal configuration, wherein the second positioning reference signal configuration is based at least in part on the request to modify the one or more parameters of the first positioning reference signal configuration, obtaining measurements from one or more positioning reference signals based at least in part on the second assistance data, and determining the location based at least on part on measurements obtained from the one or more positioning reference signals.

Abstract: Positioning of a UE is supported in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Inactive state. The UE receives from a location server a request for periodic or triggered location and an indication of whether uplink, downlink, or uplink and downlink positioning will be used for subsequent location reporting events when the UE is in the RRC Inactive state. When an event is detected, the UE sends a first event report and a second event report to the location server to report the event and enable UE location while the UE is in the RRC Inactive state. The event reports are each sent with Small Data Transmission (SDT). The first event report may include a Request Assistance Data message indicating a request for an uplink (UL) Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) configuration and the second event report may include location measurement performed by the UE.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a radio access network (RAN) node may transmit, to an access and mobility function (AMF) of a core network, a request associated with a location-based state of a user equipment (UE) served by the RAN node. For example, the location-based state of the UE may be associated with whether the UE is flying or whether the UE is driving. Accordingly, the RAN node may receive a message in response to the request. The RAN node may receive the message in response to the request from the AMF. Alternatively, the AMF may establish a connection between the RAN node and a location management function (LMF) of the core network such that the RAN node receives the message in response to the request from the LMF. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for initiating a periodic and triggered location in a target UE. After an LCS Client requests initiation of periodic and triggered location reporting from the UE, two intermediate responses are returned by a network. A first response indicates that the periodic and triggered location request has been received and accepted by the network. A second response indicates that periodic and triggered location has been activated in the UE. Additionally, a periodic and triggered location request may include a maximum event sampling interval and a maximum reporting interval and one or more location triggers. The maximum event sampling interval can limit UE power consumption and the maximum reporting interval can detect when periodic and triggered location is no longer active in a UE. The location triggers may include periodic reporting, reporting using area events or reporting based on UE motion.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for reducing the delay in accumulating positioning measurements and improving positioning latency. An example method for reducing positioning measurement latency in a wireless network includes receiving assistance data including configuration information for a plurality of positioning reference signals, determining measurement gap requirements, requesting measurement gaps based on the measurement gap requirements, receiving measurement gap configuration information, determining a mobility state, and measuring or transmitting one or more positioning reference signals based at least in part on the measurement gap configuration information and the mobility state.
