Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for handling of radio frequency (RF) front-end group delays for roundtrip time (RTT) estimation. In an aspect, a network node transmits first and second RTT measurement (RTTM) signals to a user equipment (UE) and receives first and second RTT response (RTTR) signals from the UE. The network node measures the transmission times of the RTTM signals and the reception times of the RTTR signals, and the UE measures the transmission times the RTTM signals and the transmission times of the RTTR signals. The group delays of the transmit/receive chains of the network node and the UE are determined for one set of transmit/receive chains based on the first RTTM signal and first RTTR signal. The group delays of the transmit/receive chain used for the second RTTM signal and the second RTTR signal are determined relative to the group delay of the one set of transmit/receive chains.

Abstract: A position of a user equipment (UE) may be determined using downlink based solutions (e.g. OTDOA), uplink based solutions (e.g. UTDOA), or combined downlink and uplink based solutions (e.g. RTT). The serving gNBs may request neighboring gNBs to produce downlink reference signal transmissions to a target UE and/or measure uplink reference signal transmissions from the target UE. The serving gNB may receive the uplink reference signal measurements from neighboring gNBs and obtain an own uplink reference signal measurement and forward to the UE or another network entity all the uplink reference signal measurements. The UE may use the uplink reference signal measurements, along with the UE's own downlink reference signal measurements to determine RTTs. The serving gNBs or another entity may keep the uplink reference signal measurements and may determine RTTs after receiving the downlink reference signal measurements from the UE.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for on-demand positioning. For example a method may include transmitting a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used by a location server in coordinating one or more base stations (BSs) to participate in the UE positioning procedure, and receiving signaling from the location server configuring the UE to participate in the UE positioning procedure.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating control information are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE) may include receiving, from a base station (BS), a resource pool (RP) configuration that indicates resources in a licensed frequency band reserved for sidelink control information (SCI), transmitting, to a second sidelink UE, the SCI in the reserved resources, wherein the SCI includes a starting position of channel occupancy time (COT) resources in an unlicensed frequency band, and transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) via the COT resources in the unlicensed frequency band.

Abstract: According to embodiments herein, a UE can be configured with a spatial relationship for an Uplink Position Reference Signal (UL-PRS) to transmit via the SL interface. This information can include various options related to a transparent mode in which an anchor UE connected with the UE via the SL interface generally acts like a base station. In an advanced mode, any of a variety of aspects of the SL interface used in communication between the UE and anchor UE may be used as a reference for UL-PRS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Examples may include receiving, at a user equipment (UE) a random access channel (RACH) configuration message from a base station, where the message indicates a channel metric (e.g., received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), or the like) and a threshold associated with the channel metric. The, UE may measure a reference signal (e.g., synchronization signal block (SSB), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or the like) and select a RACH procedure based on comparing the measured channel metric to the threshold. For example, the UE may select a two-step RACH procedure if the measured channel metric satisfies the threshold specified in the configuration. In some cases, the UE may select a RACH procedure or a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based on a QoS parameter.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for selecting and indicating a quasi colocation (QCL) source signal for sidelink (SL) communications. For example, a scheduling node may select from multiple candidates a signal for a first user equipment (UE) to use as a spatial QCL source for a receive (RX) or transmit (TX) beam to use for communicating with a second UE on a SL interface. The scheduling node may then signal the first UE an indication of the selection of the signal.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support visual sensing for positioning. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving a first image of an object from an image capture device. The method also includes receiving location information that includes a coordinate point, a position of the UE determined based on the coordinate point, or a combination thereof. The coordinate point is generated based on a relative orientation between the UE and a network entity, and a matched pair of points including a first point of the first image and a second point of a second image of the object captured by the network entity. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
