Abstract: Disclosed embodiments facilitate efficient positioning of stations (STAs) one wireless networks. A method on an Access Point may determine, at a first time, availability of the Access Point (AP) for positioning; and transmit, based at least in part, on the determination, information indicative of the AP's availability for positioning. The transmitted information may comprise one or more of: STA-AP location determination availability, STA-AP location determination capability, whether AP-AP positioning is being performed; and/or the next scheduled AP-AP ranging session. In some embodiments, a STA may initiate location determination to determine a location of the STA based, at least in part, on indications of availability for positioning for one or more Access Points (APs) communicatively coupled to the STA. Each indication of availability may correspond to a distinct AP of the one or more APs, and the location determination may comprise either: STA-AP location determination, or passive location determination.

Abstract: A method of performing functions by proxy for a set of associated proximate devices is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method may comprise associating a set of user equipments (UEs), wherein upon determination that a first UE in the set is unavailable for performing a requested function, at least one alternate second UE in the associated set of UEs is selected, wherein the at least one second UE is proximate to the first UE and the at least one second UE is available for performing the requested function. The performance of the requested function on the at least one second UE is initiated.
