    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining an object's location by using a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) to aid in RF sensing. Radar techniques can be used in which one or more base stations act as a transmitter and a receiving device acts as a receiver in a bistatic or multi-static radar configuration where an RIS directs signals transmitted by the one or more base stations to the receiving device. By comparing the time a line-of-sight (LOS) signal (redirected to the receiving device by the RIS) is received by the receiving device with that of an echo signal (redirected to the receiving device by the RIS) from a reflection of an RF signal from the object, a position of the object can be determined. Depending on desired functionality, this position can be determined by the receiving device or by a location server or other network entity.

    Abstract: A signal processing method includes: receiving, at a UE, a PRS and a supplemental signal, the supplemental signal being a broadcast signal and spanning a first frequency range at least partially outside of a second frequency range spanned by the PRS; processing, at the UE, the PRS and the supplemental signal in combination, resulting in an effective signal bandwidth that is larger than the second frequency range, to determine position information; and at least one of: transmitting a capability message, from the UE to a network entity, indicating a processing capability of the UE to process, in combination, the PRS and the supplemental signal; or transmitting a signal-combination indication, from the UE to the network entity, indicating that the UE processed the PRS and the supplemental signal in combination to determine the position information.

    Abstract: A UE includes: an interface comprising at least one of a receiver and a transmitter; a memory; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the interface and the memory, configured to: identify a processing conflict for an exchange of a first UE-to-UE location reference signal and an exchange of a first radio-network-interface signal; determine a priority of the exchange of the first UE-to-UE location reference signal and the exchange of the first radio-network-interface signal; and exchange, via the interface, one of the first UE-to-UE location reference signal or the first radio-network-interface signal according to the priority.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to sounding on a subset of available sounding resources. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) on a subset of the frequency resources available for a hop of an SRS hopping sequence. A UE may be configured to use a subset of frequency resources or the UE may autonomously identify this subset. A base station may send a bit map to a UE to indicate the subset of resources to use for a hop. Each bit of the bit map may indicate that the UE is to transmit an SRS on a particular RB or on a particular groups of RBs. The same subset of resources may be designated for each hop or different subsets of resources may be designated for different hops. An indication of the subset of resources may be provided for each hop. The subset of resources may be cycled for different hops.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to wireless communication for slot postponing of aperiodic sound reference signals (A-SRS) by a user equipment in a wireless network. A network node, such as a gNodeB, may send at least a portion of a slot postponing configuration for transmission of aperiodic sounding reference signals (A-SRSs) to a user equipment (UE). In a particular aspect, the slot postponing configuration is established through RRC signaling and does not utilize downlink control information (DCI) or MAC-CE sent parameters for establishing the slot postponing configuration. The slot positioning configuration is used to control slot offset postponing, the number of slot offsets, the number of times transmission of A-SRS can be postponed in the UE, and priority rules based on the postponing configuration.
