Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for receiving reference radio frequency (RF) signals for positioning estimation. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network node, multiple resource sets for tracking (TRSs). Each TRS comprises a plurality of reference signal resources. The multiple TRSs are signals from a same antenna port or are quasi-co-located signals. The UE processes the multiple TRSs to determine positioning-related quantity(ies). The UE can estimate its position based on the positioning-related quantity(ies) and/or send the positioning-related quantity(ies) to the network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may schedule a user equipment (UE) to transmit a sidelink data message to another UE. The base station may consider timing capabilities of the transmitting UE and the receiving UE when scheduling the sidelink communication. For example, the base station may schedule a feedback resource based on the timing capabilities of the transmitting UE and the receiving UE. The feedback resource may be scheduled with enough time such that the sidelink UEs can finish processing any sidelink communications in time to provide the feedback for the sidelink communications to the base station using the feedback resource.

Abstract: A method, at a transmission/reception point (TRP), of producing a positioning reference signal muting pattern includes: obtaining, at the TRP, one or more positioning reference signal criteria, the one or more positioning reference signal criteria regarding at least one of positioning reference signal transmission or positioning reference signal reception; and producing, at the TRP, the positioning reference signal muting pattern such that the positioning reference signal muting pattern meets the one or more positioning reference signal criteria.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for performing positioning operations. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a downlink physical channel from a base station, the downlink physical channel received via one or more slots of one or more subframes of one or more radio frames, the downlink physical channel carrying user data and/or control information from the base station to the UE, receives, from the base station, an indication that the base station will transmit reference signals for positioning on the downlink physical channel, and performs a positioning measurement of a reference signal received on the downlink physical channel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving, from a first base station, a set of cross-link interference measurement configurations associated with location information, performing a cross-link interference measurement procedure on signals received based on the set of cross-link interference measurement configurations, or the location information, or a location of the first UE, or a combination thereof, and transmitting, to the first base station, a measurement value based on the performed cross-link interference measurement procedure.

Abstract: In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines a resource configuration and a transmit power for a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble sequence and/or a configuration and a transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource unit (PRU) based on positioning information of the UE relative to the base station, the speed of the UE relative to the base station, and/or a radio resource control (RRC) state of the UE, transmits, to the base station, a message comprising the PRACH preamble sequence on a PRACH occasion and a payload on a PRU occasion based on the determined resource configuration and transmit power for the PRACH preamble sequence and/or the determined resource configuration and transmit power for the PRU, and receives, from the base station, a second message comprising information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a payload on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for channel sounding for wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to scheduling sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets for wireless devices having more than 4 receive (RX) antenna ports. In some implementations, a base station may determine an antenna switching capability of a user equipment (UE). The antenna switching capability indicates a number of RX antenna ports of the UE. The base station schedules a number of SRS resource sets for the UE based at least in part on the number of RX antenna ports in excess of four. For example, the number of RX antenna ports may be equal to 8. As another example, the number of RX antenna ports may be equal to 6. The base station further receives, from the UE, uplink transmissions of one or more SRS resources for each of the scheduled SRS resource sets.

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: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive control information for a communication of the UE; and determine whether the control information is associated with a slot-based control configuration or a non-slot-based control configuration based at least in part on the control information; or determine whether the communication is associated with a slot-based data configuration or a non-slot-based data configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.
