    Abstract: An arrangement for determining a location of a base station by user equipment uses measurements of reference signals of a base station from different user equipment positions. The measurement results are preprocessed and then provided to a machine learning entity. The machine learning entity estimates the location of the base station and provides the estimated location for use in other functionality of the user equipment.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for beam steering is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a beam forming signal generator configured to generate a beam forming signal for applying to at least one of amplitude and phase shift circuitry associated with an antenna array to provide a radiation pattern. A determining means is provided that is configured to determine a signal strength of interfering signals received at the antenna array within a user equipment and to determine a dominant interfering ratio indicative of a strength of a strongest interfering signal relative to a strength of other interfering signals. A comparator is provided that is configured to compare the dominant interfering ratio to a predetermined ratio value and where the dominant interfering ratio exceeds the predetermined ratio value to generate a control signal for controlling the beam forming signal generator to generate a radiation pattern comprising a beam and at least one steered null.

    Abstract: A method for a user equipment includes determining full duplex capability and metric thresholds during cell search or attachment to a base station and reporting these to the base station; when in an RRC-connected state, dynamically sending reports of the metric conditions to the base station; and receiving instructions, based on the reports of the metric conditions, to communicate with the base station in one of a full duplex mode and a time division duplex mode. A method for a base station includes receiving a full duplex capability and metric thresholds from a user equipment; when in an RRC-connected state, initially scheduling the user equipment for communications in a time division duplex mode; receiving reports of metric conditions dynamically from the user equipment; and sending instructions, based on the reports, to the user equipment to communicate in one of a full duplex mode and a time division duplex mode.

    Abstract: A terminal device including circuitry configured to perform: measuring, for each candidate positioning beam pair of a first subset of candidate positioning beam pairs, at least one respective positioning reference signal metric, wherein each candidate positioning beam pair represents a combination of a respective receive beam of the terminal device and a respective transmit beam of a respective network node of one or more network nodes; estimating, for each candidate positioning beam pair of a second subset of candidate positioning beam pairs, at least one respective positioning reference signal metric at least partially based on the measured positioning reference signal metrics; selecting one or more candidate positioning beam pairs as positioning beam pairs for downlink positioning.

    Abstract: To facilitate positioning a user device, the user device is configured to measure, per an antenna array, reference signals received from transmission-reception points and to check, whether a downlink reference signal from a transmission-reception point is received in a serving antenna array and in one or more non-serving antenna arrays with a first delay. A non-serving antenna array receiving the signal with the first delay is an alternative antenna array to the serving antenna array. When the serving antenna array is under a maximum permissible exposure event, the user device is configured to select, which one of one or more alternative antenna arrays and the serving antenna panel is to be used for transmitting at least a positioning signal to the transmission-reception point.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for transmitter residual carrier frequency offset compensation. The method may include receiving, at a reference user equipment, configuration for a positioning reference measurement from a network element. The method may also include estimating a transmission carrier frequency offset of the network element based on the positioning reference measurements. The method may further include transmitting the estimated transmission carrier frequency offset in a report to the network element.
