Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for duty-cycle based positioning sounding reference signals. A method may include receiving, at a user equipment, configuration information of at least one periodic positioning sounding reference signal. The configuration information may include at least one time interval and at least one transmission resource associated with the at least one time interval. The method may also include transmitting the at least one periodic positioning sounding reference signal to a network entity based on the configuration information. The at least one periodic positioning sounding reference signal may be in a first transmission status or a second transmission status in accordance to the at least one time interval. The at least one time interval may occur periodically.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to positioning. A first device performs positioning measurements of a first set of reference signals in a first frequency range. If the first device determines that quality of service requirements for positioning the first device are satisfied, the first device transmits a first measurement report to a second device. The first measurement report only comprises a first set of measurement results associated with the first set of reference signals.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for positioning enhancement mechanism. A first device determines that a third device is to transmit a positioning related message in a non-connected state. The first device transmits assistance information to a second device serving the third device. The assistance information comprises at least one of data size and a transmission periodicity for the positioning related message. By means of the assistance information, the base stations are provided with proactive knowledge of the positioning related message. In this way, the base station is capable of determining appropriate configurations for the SDT procedure. The terminal device may then transmit the positioning related message in the RRC NON-CONNECTED state via the SDT. As such, the efficiency of SDT procedure can be improved, while avoiding segmentation or subsequent transmission of the positioning report.

Abstract: Various example embodiments are described in which a network node transmits to a user device preconfiguration information for a plurality of on-demand positioning signal (ODPS) preconfigurations. An ODPS preconfiguration may be selected and communicated. The transmitted ODPS preconfiguration may be a request for transmission, or a notice of transmission, of the selected ODPS. An ODPS, which is associated with or based on the selected ODPS preconfiguration, may be transmitted. The ODPS may include any positioning signal (e.g., any signal that may be used for positioning) that may be transmitted upon request or as needed, and, e.g., may include downlink on-demand positioning reference signals (ODPRS), uplink on-demand sounding reference signals (ODSRS), or other positioning or reference signal.
