Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for positioning measurement report. The method comprises: performing, at a first device and based on a set of measurement parameters, positioning measurements: and reporting, at a reporting instance and to a second device, a first part of the positioning measurements with an indication regarding whether or not the first part of the positioning measurements is to be jointly utilized with a second part of the positioning measurements to estimate a location of the first device, the second part of the positioning measurements being previously reported to the second device. In this way, the UE is capable of providing assistant information about location change, which may in turn improve the positioning accuracy. In addition, unnecessary measurements on all the PRS resources can be avoided, thus such a reporting mechanism can reduce power consumption at the UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are example embodiments of methods and devices for switching between measurement gap and measurement gap-less reception of positioning reference signals. An example embodiment provides user equipment comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code stored therein. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the user equipment to receive positioning reference signals in a measurement gap-less mode, transmit a first request of switching to a measurement gap mode to a base station and/or a location server, receive a first switching request response from the base station, and receive the positioning reference signals in the measurement gap mode when the first switching request response indicates that the first switching request is approved.

Abstract: Reporting integrity measurement error distribution groups is provided. An apparatus may include at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to communicate, with a network device, information that may include one or more integrity distribution groups (IDGs) and corresponding distribution parameters. The apparatus may further perform positioning measurements for positioning integrity and determine one of the one or more IDGs based on at least one of the positioning measurements. A report is transmitted to the network device that may include at least one of the positioning measurements or an identifier of the determined IDG.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for Rx-Tx RTT estimation are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a network element, the reference signal to another network element and recording a time stamp (t0) of a time of transmission of the reference signal, and receiving an estimated Rx-Tx measurement from said another network element and recording a time stamp (t3) of a time of receipt of the estimated Rx-Tx measurement. The method may also include calculating a Rx-Tx measurement at the network element based on a difference between the time stamp (t0) of the time of transmission of the reference signal and the time stamp (t3) of the receipt of the estimated Rx-Tx measurement, and determining a propagation delay based on a difference between the received estimated Rx-Tx measurement and the calculated Rx-Tx measurement.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for asset tracking joint sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. A location management network node may send a positioning failure message to a serving network node. The serving network node may group devices if one or more criteria are met. When one or more of the devices can be grouped, the serving network node may assign and distribute, to devices, a multi-tag-SRS sequence identifier that may be used by the devices in the group. The serving network node may compute and send, to the devices in the group, a multi-tag-SRS transmit configuration. The devices may perform a joint SRS transmission. The location management network node may compute a location of a centroid for the group of devices associated with the reported metric.
