    Abstract: A target user equipment (UE) identifies other UEs that are available for a positioning reference signal (PRS) exchange for sidelink assisted positioning of the target UE. The target UE may provide to a network entity, such as a location server, the identifications of the UEs that are available for the sidelink-assisted positioning of the target UE. The network, entity may generate and provide for sidelink-assisted positioning the PRS configurations for UEs, which may include the one or more UEs recommended by the target UE. The target UE may provide a list of UEs, in response to a request from the network entity, in response to receipt of a network generated list provided to the target UE, or in response to a determination that PRS measurements based on previously acquired UE PRS configurations are inadequate. The sidelink-assisted positioning may be used when the target UE is present in a null-zone.

    Abstract: A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a first network, a first message comprising a first measurement gap configuration, a measurement gap reconfiguration, a selection from a measurement gap pool, or a measurement gap release. The method also includes receiving a second message, from the first network. The second message may configure a measurement gap, reconfigure a measurement gap, or release a measurement gap. The second message may also suspend data communication from the UE during a configured measurement gap. The method additionally includes suspending communication with the first network during the configured measurement gap. The communication may be suspended to save power, tune away for a multiple subscriber identity module (MSIM) of the UE, or measure a neighbor cell.

    Abstract: A method of wireless communication, by a first sidelink user equipment (UE), includes periodically receiving a set of sidelink beam failure detection reference signals (RSs) from a second sidelink UE. The method includes incrementing a beam failure detection (BFD) counter in response to one or more reference signals of the set of sidelink beam failure detection RSs having a received signal strength below a threshold. The first sidelink UE starts a beam failure detection timer in response to the reference signal(s) of the set of sidelink beam failure detection reference signals having the received signal strength below the threshold. Another method by a sidelink UE may periodically transmit a set of sidelink BFD RSs to another sidelink UE. The set of sidelink BFD RSs comprise one or more sidelink receive RSs. The sidelink UE configures the other sidelink UE with the sidelink receive BFD RSs.
