    Abstract: Example aspects include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for sidelink-aided radio frequency (RF) sensing at user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication network, comprising receiving a sensing establishment message associated with a sensing session. The aspects further include receiving one or more sensing measurement information obtained by the one or more sidelink UEs corresponding to the sensing session, or a first sensing outcome information corresponding to the sensing session obtained by one of the one or more sidelink UEs based on the one or more sensing measurement information. Additionally, the aspects include transmitting the one or more sensing measurement information obtained by the one or more sidelink UEs corresponding to the sensing session, or a second sensing outcome information corresponding to the sensing session.

    Abstract: A wireless network including user equipment (UE) and base stations is configured to perform position determination with low latency and high availability within the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) framework. For example, the UE may be integrated as a sensor in a motion control system or similar applications. The UE and base stations are synchronized with the TSN clock, and are configured to perform positioning measurements at a specific time point within the TSN framework. The time point, for example, may be a global sampling point, at which all sensor nodes in the TSN framework perform position measurements. A location server may be provided with the positioning measurements or a position estimate from the UE and provide the position estimate to an external client, such as a motion controller in a motion control system.

    Abstract: Techniques are provide for passive positioning of user equipment (UE) with sidelink assistance. An example method for passive positioning includes receiving a first positioning reference signal from a first station at a first time, receiving a second positioning reference signal from a second station at a second time, receiving positioning assistance data associated with positioning reference signals received by a proximate user equipment, determining a reference signal timing difference based at least in part on the first time and the second time, and determining a current location based at least in part on the reference signal timing difference and the positioning assistance data.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a first downlink control information block over a group physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the first downlink control information block identifies a plurality of user equipment (UEs) for performing aperiodic channel state information (CSI) measurements and an indication of CSI reference signal resources for a CSI reference signal. The base station may transmit the CSI reference signal on the indicated CSI reference signal resources. The UE may perform, in response to receiving the group PDCCH, an aperiodic CSI measurement of the CSI reference signal on the indicated CSI reference signal resources.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transmitting a positioning reference signal over a channel within a window including a set of positioning reference signal transmission opportunities. A device may identify the window and perform a channel access procedure to access the channel during the window. Based on performing the channel access procedure, the device may obtain access to the channel and determine that a portion of the positioning reference signal transmission opportunities are remaining within the window. The device may transmit a positioning reference signal during one or more of the remaining positioning reference signal transmission opportunities. In some cases, the device may refrain from transmitting a positioning reference signal during a portion of a positioning reference signal transmission opportunity even if the device gains access to the channel during that portion of the positioning reference signal transmission opportunity.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to dynamically modifying channel state information (CSI) settings, such as CSI report settings and/or CSI resource settings, utilized by a user equipment (UE) in reporting CSI to a base station. For example, a UE may identify at least one parameter associated with a CSI setting and provide a recommendation to modify the CSI setting based on the at least one parameter to a base station. The recommendation may include, for example, an optimized configuration of the CSI setting or soft output, such as an uncertainty level or confidence level associated with the CSI setting. The base station may then select the optimized CSI setting based on the recommendation and provide the optimized CSI setting to the UE for use in generating and transmitting CSI reports to the base station. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a transmission detection procedure on each base station before combining control information. The UE may use demodulation reference signals (DMRS) as a detection mechanism. If the UE detects a DMRS from a base station, the UE may determine that a control resource set associated with the base station is valid for combining. If the UE does not detect DMRS from the base station, the UE may refrain from combining control information from the base station. In another example, base stations that pass a listen-before-talk (LBT) pr6ocedure may transmit a preamble before transmitting control information. A preamble may carry a preamble sequence associated with a specific control resource set. The UE may identify a preamble sequence and determine that the corresponding control resource set is valid for control information combining.
