    摘要: Aspects and embodiments relate generally to mechanisms to support power saving in a wireless communication network and more particularly to supporting discontinuous reception of a wake-up signal receiver at an apparatus comprising a wake-up signal receiver and a main radio receiver. One aspect provides an apparatus, comprising: a main radio receiver; a wake-up signal receiver; and a timer. The wake-up signal receiver comprises: circuitry configured to receive at least a portion of a broadcast message; circuitry configured to evaluate the received portion of the broadcast message to determine a time marker; and circuitry configured to provide the time marker to the timer. The apparatus may comprise a UE and may therefore be configured to align internal time keeping with the time keeping of a network, thus allowing discontinuous reception and associated energy savings, without transmission of additional specific synchronisation messaging by a network.

    摘要: 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.
