    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining the location of an object using RF sensing. More specifically, an object may be detected in a wireless data communication network using radar techniques in which one or more base stations act as a transmitter and a mobile device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) acts as a receiver in a bistatic or multi-static radar configuration. By comparing the time a line-of-sight (LOS) signal is received by the mobile device with that of an echo signal from a reflection of an RF signal from the object, a position of the object can be determined. Depending on desired functionality, this position can be determined by the UE, or by a network entity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for reducing latency for closed loop sidelink communications for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are described. In some examples, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a message requesting an allocation of sidelink resources for the first UE and an allocation of sidelink resources for a second UE. The first UE may receive, from the network entity in response to the request message, an indication of a first set of sidelink resources for the first UE. In some examples, the first UE may transmit one or more data messages to the second UE, including an indication of a second set of sidelink resources, an indication that the network entity may directly allocate the second set of sidelink resources, or both. In some example, the first UE may receive one or more data messages from the second UE on the second set of sidelink resources.

    Abstract: In an aspect, a communications node (e.g., TRP or UE) obtains (e.g., measures) timing group delays associated with different positioning procedures to determine time drift information, and reports the time drift information to an external entity for position estimation. In some designs, positioning procedures may comprise round trip time (RTT) measurements or uplink or downlink Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) measurements. In some designs, the time drift information indicates a drift rate function.

    Abstract: In a positioning session for a user equipment (UE), one or more base stations may receive and derive positioning measurements from uplink (UL) transmission from the UE that include a physical resource block (PRB) interlaced waveform based on at least one of interlaced physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource blocks, interlaced physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) RBs resource blocks, interlaced sounding reference signal (SRS), interlaced uplink (UL) positioning reference signal (PRS), or a combination thereof. The interlaced waveforms span a greater wavelength than if interlacing were not used, and an enhanced accuracy requirement for the positioning measurements based on the span may be used for the positioning measurements. The UL interlaced PRBs may be used for UL positioning measurements for combined downlink (DL) and UL positioning measurements. The base station may report the positioning measurements along with the channel used and enhanced accuracy requirements to a location server for positioning.

    Abstract: A radar system may comprise a first wireless communications system Transmission Reception Point (TRP)configured as a transmitter for sending a transmit signal toward a target, a second wireless communications system TRP configured as a receiver for receiving an echo signal corresponding to a reflection of the transmit signal from the target, and a radar server. The first wireless communications system TRP and the second wireless communications system TRP may be part of a cellular communications system. The second wireless communications system TRP may be configured to generate one or more measurement reports containing one or more of delay, Doppler frequency, and/or angle-of-arrival information. The second wireless communications system TRP may be configured to send the one or more measurement reports to an entity within the cellular communications system.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a network entity determines a location of a target base station and a location of at least one reference device, determines an angle-of-arrival (AoA) measurement of one or more reference signals received by at least one antenna array of the target base station from the at least one reference device, determines an expected AoA between the at least one antenna array and the at least one reference device based on the location of the target base station and the location of the at least one reference device, and determines an orientation offset of the at least one antenna array based on a difference between the expected AoA and the AoA measurement.
