Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating SSBs for reduced capability UEs in an NTN are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a UE includes monitoring in a first resource for at least a part of a first portion of a first SSB of a non-terrestrial network and a second portion of the first SSB, the first resource being associated with a first beam. The example method also includes monitoring for a second SSB of the non-terrestrial network on a second beam in a second resource that overlaps at least in part with the second portion of the first SSB.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a set of one or more beam profiles, wherein each beam profile in the set of one or more beam profiles comprises the beam profile of a legitimate positioning reference signal (PRS) beam. The UE may determine a beam profile of a received PRS beam. The UE may determine a legitimacy of the received PRS beam based on a comparison of the beam profile of the received PRS beam to the set of one or more beam profiles from legitimate PRS beams.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may communicate in a network based at least in part on using a first connection configuration. The UE may communicate in the network based at least in part using a second connection configuration instead of the first connection configuration. The UE may autonomously switch to reusing the first connection configuration for communicating in the network based at least in part on the first connection configuration being stored at the UE. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a network component determines location assistance data comprising information associated with one or more reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). The network component transmits, to a user equipment (UE), the location assistance data to facilitate one or more location procedures based on the location assistance data. The UE receives the location assistance data and performs the one or more location procedures based on the location assistance data.

Abstract: An anchor UE may move or have a low transmission power and impact the accuracy of positioning estimates of a target UE based on measurements of the PRSs associated with the anchor UE. One or more candidate anchor UEs may be selected or excluded from being used for positioning based on one or more of a measurement quality metric of a position measurement of a candidate anchor UE, a mobility status of the candidate anchor UE, or a GDOP associated with the candidate anchor UE. A mobility status of the candidate anchor UE may be derived from reported positions of the candidate anchor UE or obtained from the candidate anchor UE. A UE selected as an anchor UE is used for positioning of a target UE, and a UE downselected from being an anchor UE is excluded from use for positioning of the target UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a first network node receives, from a second network node, a positioning reference signal having a first reception time at the first network node, receives, from a first user equipment (UE), a first uplink positioning reference signal having a second reception time at the first network node, receives, from a second UE, a second uplink positioning reference signal having a third reception time at the first network node, and enables a first reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement to be calculated for the first UE and a second RSTD measurement to be calculated for the second UE based on the first reception time, the second reception time, the third reception time, and other measurements.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a method of wireless communication performed by a transmission/reception point (TRP) includes transmitting, at a first time and to a receiving entity, a first beam response report that describes, using a first level of granularity, beam responses of a set of positioning resources, each positioning resource to be transmitted by the TRP at different times using different beams; transmitting, at a second time and to the receiving entity, a second beam response report that describes, using a second level of granularity different from the first level of granularity, beam responses of at least a portion of the set of positioning resources; and transmitting the set of positioning resources using the different beams. The TRP may receive positioning information from the receiving entity, the positioning information comprising measurements of at least some of the positioning resources, a positioning estimate, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for enabling low-power positioning of a first mobile device using differential angle of arrival (AoA). A differential AoA between a first AoA of a first wireless reference signal at a second mobile device and a second AoA of a second wireless reference signal at the second mobile device is obtained, where the first wireless reference signal is transmitted by a wireless network node, and the second wireless reference signal is transmitted by the first mobile device. The position of the first mobile device is determined based at least in part on the differential AoA. The position of the first mobile device is then provided.
