    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.

    Abstract: The apparatus may include first and second wireless devices, and the first and second wireless devices may be a UE or a base station. The first wireless device may generate one or more verification bits based on one or more secret keys, and transmit to the second wireless device the indication of the one or more verification bits. The second wireless device may receive the indication of the one or more verification bits, decode the one or more verification bits, and transmit feedback to the first wireless device. The first and second wireless devices may select at least one resource of a plurality of resources for the communication of the one or more verification bits based on at least part in the encoded or modified at least one secret key to communicate the one or more verification bits.

    Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for providing multiple positioning reference signal (PRS) configurations to a user equipment (UE). An example method for measuring a positioning reference signal includes receiving positioning assistance data including a first portion of a plurality of positioning reference signal configurations and scheduling information for a second portion of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations, selecting a first positioning reference signal configuration based on the first portion of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations, obtaining a plurality of positioning reference signal parameters associated with the first positioning reference signal configuration based on the scheduling information, wherein the plurality of positioning reference signal parameters are included in the second portion of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations, and measuring one or more positioning reference signals, the one or more positioning reference signals being based at least in part on the plurality of positioning reference signal parameters.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may obtain configuration information that identifies resources for sounding reference signal (SRS) positioning. The UE may transmit, to a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a plurality of SRS transmissions at different times according to the configuration information. The UE may receive, from the RIS, a plurality of SRS transmissions comprising reflections of the plurality of SRS transmissions to the RIS, wherein each of the plurality of SRS transmissions from the RIS is transmitted at a different angle of departure (AoD) from the RIS. The UE may measure each of the plurality of SRS transmissions from the RIS to produce a plurality of measurements. The UE may perform a positioning operation based on the plurality of measurements.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, gNB may report antenna configuration and table that maps antenna element(s) to phase shift and/or amplitude shift to a position estimation entity (PDE). The PDE may derive beam shape based on the reported information. In another aspect, gNB may report transformation information by which a first beam shape of a first beam is transformed into a second beam shape of a second beam. The PDF may derive the second beam shape of the second beam based in part upon the transformation information

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a serving base station, a first round-trip time (RTT) measurement signal. The UE may send, to the serving base station, a second RTT measurement signal. The UE may send, to at least one other UE, a third RTT measurement signal. The UE may send, to the serving base station or to a location server, an indication of a first delay between receiving the first RTT measurement signal and sending the second RTT measurement signal and an indication of a second delay between sending the second RTT measurement signal and sending the third RTT measurement signal.
