Abstract: The disclosure provides a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus. The apparatus may be configured to receive a first request to report a list of UEs satisfying a set of restriction criteria, the first request being associated with an AF. The apparatus may further be configured to receive a set of UE IDs associated with the AF. The apparatus may also be configured to identify a subset of the set of UE IDs that satisfy the set of restriction criteria. The apparatus may further be configured to transmit an indication of the subset of the set of UE IDs.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for utilizing resource capability maps and resource usage maps for sidelink (SL) positioning among a group of user equipments (UEs). According to some aspects, each UE of the group of UEs may send, to a coordinating entity (e.g., a UE or a server), resource information comprising: (1) a resource capability map indicative of the respective UE's capability of transmitting an SL positioning signal, receiving an SL positioning signal, or both, using one or more frequencies; and/or (2) a resource usage map indicative of the respective UE's scheduled usage of SL positioning time and frequency resources, the scheduled usage comprising transmitting an SL positioning signal and/or receiving an SL positioning signal. The coordinating entity can determine an SL positioning configuration for each UE in the group based at least in part on the resource information and send the SL positioning configurations to these UEs.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide means by which a civic location of a target mobile device may be determined using crowdsourced information from other mobile devices. The information can include information regarding Access Points (APs) and/or other access nodes obtained by the other mobile devices, as well as respective locations of the other mobile devices. A server, for example, can use this information to determine a coverage heatmap for each AP. Coverage heatmaps can be used, along with civic location information, to determine a civic location of a target mobile device based on the target mobile device's detection and possible measurements of wireless signals from one or more of the APs.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for sidelink positioning. In an aspect, an initiator user equipment (UE) transmits a first request to create a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) session to each recipient UE among a set of one or more recipient UEs, and receives first responses from the set of one or more recipient UEs that each indicate an acceptance or rejection of the SLPP session by the recipient. A group of one or more UEs for participation in the SLPP session is determined by the initiator UE from among recipient UEs from which a respective first response that indicates the acceptance of the SLPP session is received. In another aspect, a UE transmitting an SLPP message may indicate a first casting mode (e.g., unicast, groupcast, broadcast, etc.) of the SLPP message and may optionally indicate a second casting mode (e.g., unicast, groupcast, broadcast, etc.) for response(s) to the SLPP message.

Abstract: Satellite access to a PLMN with a Fifth Generation (5G) core network (5GCN) is supported by a serving satellite NodeB (gNB). The gNB determines or verifies the country in which a user equipment (UE) is located to ensure that the UE is located in the same country as the PLMN. The gNB may determine the country of the UE based on UE measurements from broadcast satellite signals and a positioning ID (PID) broadcast for each radio cell. The PID frequently changes to prevent spoofing. The gNB may use multiple UE measurements from a moving radio cell over a period of time to generate a more accurate location for the UE. The gNB may indicate to a 5GCN whether the country of the UE has been verified. The 5GCN will determine the location and country of the UE if the gNB indicates that the country is not fully verified.

Abstract: Techniques for verifying a user equipment (UE) location in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) are disclosed. In some embodiments, such techniques may involve receiving location data of the target UE; obtaining one or more locations of one or more other UEs that are within a sidelink communication range of the target UE; receiving sidelink measurements obtained by the one or more other UEs relative to the target UE or by the target UE obtained for the one or more other UEs; and verifying the location data of the target UE (e.g., a location of the target UE) based at least on the sidelink measurements and the one or more locations of the one or more other UEs. The location verification may ensure that the target UE only accesses an NTN that is allowed to serve the location of the target UE.

Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for enhancing positioning related protocols in order to indicate when one location session is different from another location session. One or more messages provided in a location session by a location server to a user equipment (UE) may include a session indication, such as a session identifier (ID), where a different session ID is provided for each location session. The session indication may be a new session indicator provided in an initial message in a location session or an end session indicator provided in a final message in a location session. An extra message may be sent by the location server indicating that the location session has ended. A correlation ID provided by a network entity to the location server may be included in messages as the session indication, e.g., where a different correlation ID is provided for each location session.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a location server receives, from a network entity serving a reference device, a registration request for the reference device to operate as a reference location device (RLD), the registration request including one or more parameters enabling the location server to communicate with the reference device via a positioning protocol, instigates a positioning procedure with the reference device via the positioning protocol based on the one or more parameters; receives one or more reference positioning measurements from the reference device during the positioning procedure via the positioning protocol; and determines one or more correction terms for positioning one or more user equipments (UEs) based, at least in part, on a location of the reference device and the one or more reference positioning measurements.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may access a serving network via a satellite while in a first state with the serving network, the first state comprising a connected state. The UE may transmit, to the serving network and based on a determination that a coverage gap associated with the satellite is upcoming, a coverage gap indication that indicates that the coverage gap is upcoming. The UE may transition from the connected state to a second state at or before a start of the coverage gap. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for obtaining environmental information using radio frequency sensing by one or more wireless devices. An example method of crowd sensing and/or environmental detection using radio frequency sensing with one or more wireless devices includes providing radio frequency sensing assistance data to one or more wireless devices, receiving radio frequency sensing reports from the one or more wireless devices, determining one or more environmental characteristics based on the radio frequency sensing reports. Environmental characteristics can include a location or movement of one or more target objects, or attributes of one or more target objects (e.g., one or many people, vehicles, animals, drones or other target objects), or any combinations thereof. This may assist with monitoring of a crowd or road traffic and/or with identifying and tracking a particular person or vehicle.
