Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to a solution for positioning of a low power device using sidelink peers. A target user device for a locally assisted positioning procedure may receive a trigger event to initiate positioning of the target user device, the trigger event originating from a location management function in relation to the locally assisted positioning procedure. The target user device may transmit at least one local positioning aid request to one or more anchor user devices for the locally assisted positioning procedure, the at least one local positioning aid request indicating a need for the locally assisted positioning procedure for the positioning of the target user device. Devices, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improved uplink (UL) positioning are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a location management entity, a request for spectrum sensing information to one or more serving network nodes and neighbor network nodes (650), receiving the spectrum sensing information from the one or more serving network nodes and neighboring network nodes (655), calculating sounding reference signal (SRS) resources for the one or more serving network nodes using the received spectrum sensing information (665), indicating, to the one or more serving network nodes, a list of sounding reference signal (SRS) configurations obtained based on the calculated sounding reference signal (SRS) resources (670), and receiving, from the one or more serving network nodes, an indication of a selected one of the sounding reference signal (SRS) configurations (675).

Abstract: Inter-alia, a method e.g. performed by an anchor user device is disclosed comprising:



receiving a first target sidelink positioning reference signal;
transmitting a first anchor sidelink positioning reference signal;
performing a receiver-transmitter time difference measurement based on the first target sidelink positioning reference signal and the first anchor sidelink positioning reference signal;
transmitting an indication of a suggestion to switch from a first sidelink round-trip time positioning method to a second round-trip time positioning method based on the receiver-transmitter time difference measurement.




Further, inter-alia a method performed by a target user device is disclosed as well as respective anchor and target user devices.

Abstract: To position a terminal device, at least one transmission-reception point, or corresponding apparatus, the terminal device and a network entity exchange information. A transmission-reception point receives from the network entity a first signal comprising at least one parameter setting for positioning reference signal transmissions. The terminal device receives from the network entity a second signal comprising at least the parameter setting. The network entity receives from the transmission-reception point a first report indicating at least an occurrence time of a successful transmission of a positioning reference signal and from the terminal device a measurement report comprising information on at least the positioning reference signal. The network entity determines a position of the terminal device based on at least the first report and the measurement report.
