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.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for securing physical (PHY) layer communications. Certain aspects relate to a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). In some examples, the method includes receiving, from a wireless communication device, an indication of a mode of a plurality of modes for use for secure communication over a physical (PHY) channel, wherein each of the plurality of modes is associated with one or more of: one or more types of signals to secure using one or more secret keys; or one or more techniques to secure communication using the one or more secret keys. In some examples, the method includes communicating over the PHY channel in accordance with the mode.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable an RF sensing node to transmit RF sensing signals based on OFDM symbols that may be flexibly configured, such that OFDM symbols used for RF sensing may be different from OFDM symbols used for communications. In one aspect, an RF sensing node transmits an RF sensing signal in a first time duration of a symbol in an RF sensing session. The RF sensing node monitors for a reflected RS sensing signal in a second time duration of the symbol that does not overlap with the first time duration, the symbol including a CP that does not overlap with the first time duration and the second time duration.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for positioning. In an aspect, a network entity receives, from a first base station of a user equipment (UE) operating in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, an event report message indicating that the UE has received a request to perform a positioning procedure, and transmits, based on a determination that the UE would benefit from updated positioning assistance data for the positioning procedure, the updated positioning assistance data to a second base station of the UE to enable the second base station to send the updated positioning assistance data to the UE.

Abstract: A position information reporting method includes: communicating by a first UE with a second UE to identify a first PRS measurement to be made by the second; receiving, by the first UE from the second UE via sidelink communication, first position information based on the first PRS measurement; and transmitting, from the first UE to a network entity, the first position information.

Abstract: A positioning reference signal measuring method includes: transmitting, from a UE, a capability report indicating that the UE is configured to measure a first type of DL-PRS and a second type of DL-PRS; and measuring the first type of DL-PRS received directly from a TRP or the second type of DL-PRS received from the TRP via a RIS, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit sounding reference signals to sound over ports of a channel. The UE may be configured to receive a message to trigger transmission of at least one sounding reference signal (SRS) of at least one SRS resource set for sounding over an active bandwidth part (BWP) in an upcoming slot, the upcoming slot being offset by a number of available slots from a reference slot indicated by the message. The UE may be further configured to detect a gap in which operation for the active BWP is suspended occurring before the transmission of the at least one SRS of the at least one SRS resource set is complete.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE receives, from a position estimation entity, a parent PRS resource set configuration associated with a set of parent beams from a TRP, and a set of child PRS resource set configurations associated with a respective set of child beams for each of the set of parent beams. The UE performs measurements on the set of parent beams and at least one activated set of child beams. The position estimation entity receives at least one measurement report(s) based on measurements associated with the set of parent beams and the at least one activated set of child beams.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a location server may send, and a base station may receive, a request for positioning information. The base station may send, and the location server may receive, sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information comprising first information that describes a frame structure used by the base station and second information that identifies, based on the frame structure used by the base station, an available slot with respect to a reference for an aperiodic SRS transmission, wherein an available slot comprises a slot that has enough uplink symbols, flexible symbols, or both, in the time domain for all SRS resources of the aperiodic SRS transmission.

Abstract: The connection between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may be authenticated in the physical layer, and the presence of an unauthorized intervening device may be identified based on predicted measurement values of downlink reference signals and the actual measurement values for the current downlink reference signals. The predicted measurement values are produced based on previous measurements of downlink reference signals that are known to be received from the base station, e.g., after upper layer initial authentication. The predicted values may be for positioning measurements, channel measurements, or velocity or direction of travel measurements, or a combination thereof. A difference between the predicted and actual measurement values indicates that the previously received reference signals and the currently received reference signals are not from the same entity, and thus, an intervening entity is likely present in the communication channel performing a man in the middle or replay attack.
