Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose methods and apparatuses for sidelink positioning. A first terminal device transmits capability information of the first terminal device along with a positioning reference signal (PRS), and the capability information indicates a capability to provide the location information of the first terminal device. Then the first terminal device receives a request for the location information of the first terminal device from a second terminal device. Based on receiving the request, the first terminal device transmits the location information along with a subsequent PRS. As such, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the first terminal device may transmit location information according to the request of the second terminal device. Thereby the sidelink positioning performance is improved.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sidelink positioning. In an example method, a terminal device detects a positioning reference signal (PRS) from a second terminal device and location information transmission associated with the PRS in case the location information was transmitted. The terminal device determines that the PRS is transmitted without location information of the second terminal device. The terminal device transmits, to a network device, indication information for indicating the PRS transmitted without the location information of the second terminal device. Sidelink positioning performance can be improved.

Abstract: Triangular inter-user equipment coordination for new radio sidelink communications is provided. An exemplary apparatus may include at least one processor, and at least one memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the apparatus at least to receive, from a first device, a request of inter-user equipment coordination. The apparatus may also be caused to determine at least one second device to which to forward the request. The apparatus may also be caused to modify the request and forward the modified request to the at least one second device for the second device to provide a response to the request to the first device. The request may be modified by an indication related to the forwarding to the at least one second device.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for traffic management in data networks. A first operation comprises allocating a first IP address to a first interface of a client device for data communications using a first sub-flow over a first path. Another operation comprises allocating a second IP address to a second interface of the client device for data communications using a second sub-flow over a second, different path, the second IP address being associated with the first IP address. Another operation comprises sending information relating to the allocated first and second IP addresses for the client device to an aggregating device for aggregating the first and second sub-flows, when received from the client device, for providing aggregated data to a destination device.
