    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to techniques for device discovery for device-to-device (D2D) communications. A user equipment (UE) may receive a transmission probability (e.g., from an evolved Node B (eNB)) for transmission of a discovery medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) for D2D communications. The UE may determine a pseudo-random number based on an identifier of the UE, information in the discovery MAC PDU, or information associated with a discovery period. The UE may compare the pseudo-random number with the transmission probability to determine whether to transmit the discovery MAC PDU in the discovery period. Another UE may also determine the pseudo-random number to determine whether the UE is to transmit the discovery MAC PDU in the discovery period. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques for observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) positioning based on heterogeneous reference signals (RSs) are discussed. One example apparatus configured to be employed within a user equipment (UE) comprises receiver circuitry, a processor, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry can receive, from each of a plurality of evolved Node Bs (eNBs), one or more RSs of each of a plurality of distinct types of RSs. The processor can determine, for each of the eNBs, a time of arrival (TOA) of the one or more RSs of each of the plurality of distinct types of RSs; and compute, for each of the eNBs, a reference signal time difference (RSTD) based at least in part on the TOAs of the one or more RSs of each of the plurality of distinct types of RSs. The transmitter circuitry can transmit the RSTD computed for each of the eNBs.

    Abstract: Technology for a UE configured to perform RSTD measurements for OTDOA positioning is disclosed. The UE can decode a MBSFN subframe configuration information for one or more cells in a plurality of cells. The UE can decode PRS configuration information for one or more cells in the plurality of cells. The UE can determine, for the one or more cells in the plurality of cells, an existence of a CRS for selected subframes of a plurality of subframes based on the MBSFN subframe configuration information. The UE can determine for the one or more cells in the plurality of cells, an existence of a PRS for selected subframes of the plurality of subframes based on the PRS configuration information. The UE can measure the RSTD for the one or more cells in the plurality of cells using the CRS and the PRS.
