Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for determining locations of reference nodes. In an aspect, an apparatus transmits a request to a first reference node to perform a first round-trip-time (RTT) procedure with a second reference node, determines a first distance between the first reference node and the second reference node based on the RTT procedure, determines relative locations of the first and second reference nodes with respect to each other, and determines absolute locations of the first and second reference nodes from their relative locations based on at least one of the first and second reference nodes having a known absolute location and at least one known angle-of-arrival (AoA) or angle-of-departure (AoD) of at least one reference signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for addressing reductions in the uplink path gain associated with user terminals are disclosed. A return path of the satellite may receive a number of data signals on a single frequency channel, wherein each of the number of data signals occupies a unique time-frequency sub-channel of the single frequency channel, originates from a corresponding one of a number of user terminals (UTs), and includes a plurality of time slots dynamically allocated to a group of user equipment (UE) devices associated with the corresponding UT. The return path may determine a combined power level of all the number of received data signals that occupy all the time-frequency sub-channels of the single frequency channel, and then adjust an amplifier gain applied to the number of received data signals in the return path based, at least in part, on the combined power level.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for time-domain processing of DL-PRS signals under certain conditions in which time-domain processing has a computational advantage over frequency-domain processing. Because of this, embodiments can provide positioning at a lower computational cost than positioning provided by traditional techniques utilizing only frequency-domain processing. This reduced computational cost can improve the battery life of mobile devices, ultimately resulting in a better user experience.
