    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving sidelink positioning via messaging between wireless nodes, e.g., roadside service units (RSUs). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first positioning reference signal (PRS) from a first wireless node, receiving a second PRS from a second wireless node, receiving, from the first wireless node, an estimate of a first clock error component between the first wireless node and the second wireless node, and estimating a position of the UE, based on the first PRS, the second PRS, and the estimate of the first clock error component.

    Abstract: The bandwidth of ranging signals used in ranging session in a distributed system are dynamically adjusted based on the accuracy of the ranging over multiple ranging sessions and optionally based on the probability of successful Listen Before Transmit (LBT) procedure over the multiple ranging sessions. The accuracy of the ranging may be determined, e.g., based on the variance of determined ranges over a number of ranging sessions, which may be compared to a threshold to indicate low accuracy ranging. The bandwidth of the ranging signals may be increased based on an indication of low accuracy ranging. If the ranging signals are broadcast on unlicensed spectrum using LBT procedures, the probability of successful LBT procedures by the initiator UE, the responder UEs, or all participating UEs may be used to determine whether bandwidth of the ranging signals should be decreased.

    Abstract: A target user equipment (UE), which may be a vehicle or UE carried by a pedestrian, may receive sequentially broadcast ranging signals from a set of ranging source entities (SEs), which may be road side units or other vehicles. The target UE further receives location information separately broadcast by each SEs. The location information, for example, may include the position for the SE, the time of transmission of the ranging signals transmitted by the SE and/or a sequence identifier for the SE. The target UE may determine ranges to the SEs using time of arrival measurements for the ranging signals and the time of transmissions of the ranging signals or the sequence identifier received in the location information. The position of the target UE may be determined using the determined ranges to the SEs and the positions of the SEs received in the location information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to the categorization of resources in a system to enable a user equipment (UE) to determine whether resources may be reclaimed. At least two categories may be defined for the resources, and the UE may use various criteria for categorizing the resources in a system. For example, the UE may include a first set of resources in an “available” category and a second set of resources in an “occupied” category. Resources in the “occupied” category may be indicated as occupied by another UE's sidelink channel information. In cases where resources are indicated as reserved for retransmission by another UE, but no feedback is detected, then the UE may use additional parameters to determine whether those resources may be reclaimed for its own transmission and may categorize the resources accordingly.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may receive a directional positioning reference signal over one or more beams from another device. The device may transmit a broadcast positioning reference signal in response to receipt of the directional positioning reference signal. The device may receive, from the other device, a report including timing and directionality associated with transmission of the directional positioning reference signal. The report may also include timing and directionality associated with receipt of the broadcast positioning reference signal at the other device. Responsive to receipt of the report, the device may transmit beam specific measurement information associated with the one or more beams to the other device. The device may communicate with the other device using a beam of the one or more beams based at least on the report and the beam specific measurement information.
