Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system may be preempted or punctured by higher priority transmissions, such as ultra-reliable low-latency traffic (URLLC). A PRS preemption indication (PI) may be provided to a UE by a serving TRP identifying one or more TRPs affected by preemption. The PRS PI may further identify the time domain and frequency domain of the preempted DL PRS transmissions. The PRS PI may identify the time domain, e.g., based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain downlink positioning reference signals associated with the group of TRPs are counted. The PRS PI may identify the frequency domain by identifying at least one of four or more frequency sub-bands of the preempted DL PRS transmissions.

Abstract: A method of managing positioning reference signal transmission includes: instructing a transmission point to apply a muting pattern regarding transmission of a reference signal including first and second reference signal resources, where a first instance of the first reference signal resource includes one or more first resource elements across one or more first OFDM symbols within a slot, and a second instance of the second reference signal resource includes one or more second resource elements across one or more second OFDM symbols within the slot; and instructing the transmission point to transmit, unmuted, at least one of the one or more second resource elements, of at least one of the one or more second OFDM symbols, despite the muting pattern indicating to mute transmission of the at least one of the one or more second resource elements of the at least one of the one or more second OFDM symbols.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for multi-level configuration and reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, a network entity may determine a position or location of a supported user equipment (UE) using radio access network information. The information may be associated with UE-assisted positioning techniques, such as a positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission by the base station and reporting of radio signaling measurements by the UE. The UE may support a multi-level configuration for reporting the radio signaling measurements, including determined report quantities on one or more of a resource level, a set level, or a setting level for the PRS transmission, or generally for the network entity. The described techniques may improve robustness associated with the reporting and, in some examples, reduce signaling overhead associated with determining a positioning and location of the UE.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for on-demand positioning. For example a method may include transmitting a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used by a location server in coordinating one or more base stations (BSs) to participate in the UE positioning procedure, and receiving signaling from the location server configuring the UE to participate in the UE positioning procedure.

Abstract: A method of performing positioning operations at a user equipment includes: operating the user equipment in a discontinuous reception mode including time interleaved ON times of the discontinuous reception mode and OFF times of the discontinuous reception mode; and determining, at the user equipment, whether to measure a portion of a positioning signal based on timing of the portion of the positioning signal relative to at least one of a first one of the ON times of the discontinuous reception mode or a first one of the OFF times of the discontinuous reception mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods in which one or more wireless communication stations implement duplex-mode remediation to facilitate the signal communication when an issue with respect to self-interference is identified are described. Duplex-mode remediation may be implemented for various communication scenarios, such as for random access phase communications, for communications having different priorities, etc. A wireless communication station may implement one or more changes with respect to the full duplex operation of the wireless communication station based upon determining that an issue with respect to self-interference may be, or is being, experienced, such as to provide for a wireless communication station operating in an in-band full duplex mode to increase interference cancellation and/or to fall back to a sub-band full duplex mode or a half duplex mode, to provide for a wireless communication station operating in a sub-band full duplex mode to increase interference cancellation and/or to fall back to a half duplex mode.

Abstract: According to embodiments herein, a UE can be configured with a spatial relationship for an Uplink Position Reference Signal (UL-PRS) to transmit via the SL interface. This information can include various options related to a transparent mode in which an anchor UE connected with the UE via the SL interface generally acts like a base station. In an advanced mode, any of a variety of aspects of the SL interface used in communication between the UE and anchor UE may be used as a reference for UL-PRS.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive. from a base station, signaling that indicates an indirect assignment of a slot for transmitting sounding reference signals (SRSs) in multiple SRS resource sets. The UE may determine whether the slot is available for the indirect assignment based on a first set of characteristics associated with the multiple SRS resource sets and a second set of characteristics associated with the slot. If the UE determines that the slot is available for the indirect assignment, the UE may transmit SRSs in the multiple SRS resource sets during the slot. If the UE determines that the slot is unavailable for the indirect assignment. the UE may refrain from transmitting SRSs in one or more of the multiple SRS resource sets during the slot.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) reports, to a network entity, a minimum number of symbols of a positioning reference signal (PRS) resource of a first transmission-reception point (TRP) of a pair of TRPs based on a reference signal time difference (RSTD) uncertainty parameter for the pair of TRPs, wherein the minimum number of symbols is less than a total number of symbols allocated for the PRS resource, and performs a positioning measurement of the minimum number of symbols of the PRS resource.

Abstract: In some aspects, a base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an instruction that triggers the UE to transmit an uplink random access channel (RACH) message, the instruction identifying a RACH preamble index corresponding to a RACH preamble to be used for the uplink RACH message; transmit, to a plurality of neighbor base stations, information that identifies the RACH preamble index; receive the uplink RACH message from the UE; receive, from the plurality of neighbor base stations, feedback that indicates respective timings with which the uplink RACH message was received by the plurality of neighbor base stations; and estimate a position of the UE based at least in part on a timing with which the uplink RACH message was received by the base station and at least two of the respective timings with which the uplink RACH message was received by the plurality of neighbor base stations.
