    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that support multiple positioning protocol versions within wireless communication networks are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining, at a first device, a first set of versions of a positioning protocol supported by the first device. An indication signal is transmitted from the first device to a second device. The indication signal includes a set of position determination data messages (PDDMs). Each particular PPDM of the set of PDDMs has a corresponding particular version of the first set of versions.

    Abstract: Latency in location of a user equipment (UE) is reduced by requesting and scheduling the location of the UE in advance of the time of when it is needed. A positioning request from an external client or the UE may indicate the time that the location is to be determined or measured. A location management function (LMF) may manage and coordinate location measurements for the UE prior to the location determination time. The LMF may schedule downlink and/or uplink measurements to be performed at the desired time. Either the LMF or a location server associated with a serving base station for the UE may be assigned to receive positioning measurements and obtain the location of the UE. The location server or LMF may send the location to the UE or the external client. User plane transport may be used to further reduce latency.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to improving the positioning of a target user equipment (UE) using an enhanced repeater disposed in a wireless network. In some embodiments, the enhanced repeater may include logically distinct user equipment (UE) functionality and distributed unit (DU) functionality. The UE functionality may enable setup with other entities of the network, e.g., an upstream location management function (LMF), such that the enhanced repeater is recognized as capable of positioning. The DU functionality may enable generation of downlink positioning signals (e.g., DL-PRS) at the enhanced repeater so as to obviate relaying of DL-PRS generated elsewhere in the network. The enhanced repeater may perform uplink measurements based on uplink positioning signals receive from the target UE, and report the uplink measurements to the LMF, enabling the LMF to calculate the position of the UE with fewer errors than if the uplink positioning signals were simply relayed.

    Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for limiting a size of LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) messages in a location session between a user equipment and location server. In one embodiment, a first device sends a first LPP message to a second device, indicating that the first device is capable of receiving segmented LPP messages. Subsequently, the first device receives a plurality of LPP message segments from the second device comprising one or more non-final LPP message segments and a final LPP message segment, where each LPP message segment includes a “non-final” or “final” indication. The first device stores the non-final LPP message segments and processes the LPP message segments after receiving the final LPP message segment. Prior to sending the first LPP message, the first device may receive an LPP message from the second device indicating the second device is capable of sending segmented LPP messages.
