Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage media for isolation enforcement for delivery of sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) messages. In the methods, a first apparatus receives, from a second apparatus, a request comprising a first indication that is to be indicated to a third apparatus. The first apparatus and the second apparatus are involved in a sidelink positioning process. Then, the first apparatus transmits the first indication to the third apparatus. Furthermore, the first apparatus transmits, to the second apparatus, information at least indicating reachability between the first apparatus and the third apparatus based on monitoring of feedback information associated with the first indication from the third apparatus. Thereby, the proposed methods can advantageously support the delivery of SLPP messages to out-of-reach devices.

Abstract: Method, apparatuses, and computer program products provide means for establishing a mechanism through which a network can configure user equipment to determine how to process an indication of region of the user equipment location when establishing a network connection. An example method includes: receiving, from a visited network, a first indication of a region of an apparatus location, where the apparatus includes a User Equipment (UE); and determining, based on a second indication in the apparatus, whether the apparatus shall ignore the first indication for network selection, where the second indication is received from a home network of the apparatus via a container transparent to the visited network. The region of the apparatus location may include a country of the apparatus location. The container may include a Steering of Roaming transparent container. The container may be delivered via a rejection message.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for sidelink positioning with on-demand reconfiguration of sidelink positioning reference signal. A method may include transmitting or receiving a sidelink positioning reference signal to or from a target user equipment, wherein the target user equipment corresponds to a user equipment to be positioned. The method may further include determining a new sidelink positioning reference signal configuration, or transmitting a sidelink positioning reference signal reconfiguration request message to a network element triggering the network element to initiate the new sidelink positioning reference signal configuration. In addition, the method may include transmitting or receiving one or more new sidelink positioning reference signals according to the new sidelink positioning reference signal configuration.
