Abstract: A method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the first UE obtains global navigation satellite system (GNSS) assistance data for a sidelink positioning session with one or more second UEs via a sidelink message, and calculates, based on the GNSS assistance data for the sidelink positioning session, the position of at least one of the first UE or the one or more second UEs. The first UE further outputs an indication indicative of the calculated position of at least one of the first UE or the one or more second UEs. The method provides a signaling mechanism to support communicating positioning data over a sidelink connection of a UE. It enhances positioning accuracy for UEs operating on sidelink connections and improves the efficiency of wireless communication.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a location server, during a location preparation phase of a positioning session, a location information request, the location information request including a measurement time at which the UE is expected to perform one or more positioning measurements during a first location execution phase of the positioning session, and transmits, to a serving base station, a request for measurement periods, the request for measurement periods including a requested offset for one or more measurement periods to perform the one or more positioning measurements and at least a first start time for the one or more measurement periods, wherein the first start time is greater than the requested offset.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, beam shape assistance information for one or more downlink transmit beams of a base station, the beam shape assistance information representing a beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams, the beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams having a quantization, and determines an angle between the UE and the base station based at least on the beam shape assistance information and signal strength measurements of positioning reference signal resources transmitted on the one or more downlink transmit beams.

Abstract: The positioning capabilities of a User Equipment (UE) are stored in a core network to reduce positioning latency when the UE indicates that its positioning capabilities are stable and/or are long term valid. The UE may provide its positioning capabilities to a location server during a location session along with an indication of whether the positioning capabilities are stable. The location server may enable storage of the positioning capabilities for the UE in the core network, e.g., in the location server or another entity in the core network such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), if there is an indication that the positioning capabilities are stable. The AMF may include a UE identifier in location requests with which the location server may retrieve the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the location server or may include the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the AMF.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node sets a downlink transmission timing of the IAB node relative to a downlink reception timing of the IAB node based on a first set of values for a set of timing parameters, receives, from a parent IAB node of the IAB node, a second set of values for the set of timing parameters, and transmits, to a positioning entity, a report indicating a change from the first set of values to the second set of values, a new downlink transmission timing based on the second set of values, or a change in downlink transmission timing.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for supporting positioning. In an aspect, a positioning reference unit (PRU) sends and a location server receives an association request for the PRU. The location server authenticates the PRU and sends to the PRU an association accept indicating an acceptance of association and conditions for performing another association with the location server if the PRU is authenticated, or indicates a rejection of the association if the PRU is not authenticated. The association accept may include an identifier for the location server for the PRU for updating the association with the location server and/or identifiers for one or more additional location servers with which the PRU is to perform separate association. The location server may send to the PRU a disassociation request indicating the PRU is no longer associated and optionally an identifier for another location server with which the PRU should associate.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) generates a positioning state information (PSI) report that is transmitted to a network entity in a lower layer channel container, e.g., in the Physical channel or Medium Access Control channel, to reduce latency. The PSI report may be generated based on a plurality of PSI report elements determined from positioning measurements performed by the UE. Each PSI report element includes information related to positioning measurements performed by the UE. One or more of the PSI report elements may be compressed based on a compression configuration, in order to reduce overhead. If the size of the PSI report elements, after one or more PSI report elements are compressed, is larger than the lower layer channel container, one or more of the PSI reports may be omitted from the PSI report. A network entity may receive and process the PSI report based on the compression configuration.

Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for providing on-demand positioning reference signals (PRS) to user equipment (UE). An example method for determining a location of a user equipment according to the disclosure includes receiving a first assistance data associated with a first positioning reference signal configuration, transmitting a request to modify one or more parameters of the first positioning reference signal configuration, receiving a second assistance data associated with a second positioning reference signal configuration, wherein the second positioning reference signal configuration is based at least in part on the request to modify the one or more parameters of the first positioning reference signal configuration, obtaining measurements from one or more positioning reference signals based at least in part on the second assistance data, and determining the location based at least on part on measurements obtained from the one or more positioning reference signals.
