Abstract: Many mobile devices and mobile networks utilize orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to calculate position information of mobile devices within the network. However, the Doppler Effect and other noise or obstructions can cause OFDM signals to become entangled, particularly when the mobile device is moving, making the calculated position information inaccurate. Described herein are systems and methods for disentangling the OFDM signals by calculating a symbol length for the signals that is longer than the minimum symbol length, which is used in traditional OFDM. Selecting a longer symbol length reduces the Doppler Effect and other noise on the signals, making positioning calculations more accurate.

Abstract: A reference signal may provide for enhanced bandwidth utilization to enable highly accurate position determination with relatively low bandwidth. For a given allocated bandwidth, a reference signal may use of only a portion of the allocated bandwidth by using plurality of sub-bands. In some cases, the sub-bands may be near the edges of the allocated band to maximize Gabor bandwidth.

Abstract: A method for blindly determining positioning reference signals in a wireless communication network determines a positioning reference signal (PRS) network configuration by estimating a PRS energy from predetermined locations of each subframe of an incoming signal. Such a method may also include blindly detecting PRS parameters based on the estimated PRS energy. The PRS energy may be peak energy responses for deep searches or verifications. The PRS energy may be a signal to signal plus noise ratio for shallow searches.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for wireless communications. For example, an example of a process includes receiving, at an apparatus (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or component of the UE), a plurality of resource blocks associated with a positioning reference signal (PRS). A comb structure of the PRS is repeated in less than all resource blocks of the plurality of resource blocks. The process includes transmitting a phase measurement report to a first network entity. The phase measurement report includes information associated with a measured phase difference between at least one subcarrier set pair of the plurality of resource blocks. As described herein, a subcarrier set includes at least one subcarrier.

Abstract: In an aspect, a UE receives first positioning assistance data (AD). The UE transmits an indication to a network component (e.g., BS, core network component, LMF, etc.) that the UE has received the first positioning AD. The network component determines second positioning AD that is based at least in part upon the first positioning AD. The network component transmits the second positioning AD to the UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives positioning reference signal (PRS) resources of a PRS instance, receives at least one symbol of a high priority downlink channel scheduled during a PRS processing window for the PRS instance, wherein the high priority downlink channel is determined to have high priority based on the high priority downlink channel being associated with a high priority uplink channel, and refrains from processing the PRS resources of the PRS instance during the PRS processing window based on one or more conditions related to prioritizing PRS processing, wherein the one or more conditions indicate that the UE does not expect to process the PRS resources of the PRS instance during the PRS processing window based on the at least one symbol of the high priority downlink channel being scheduled during the PRS processing window.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication at a UE is disclosed herein. The UE obtains, via an antenna of the UE, a first indication of a first measurement of at least one RF signal at a first time instance. The UE obtains, via the antenna, a second indication of a second measurement of the at least one RF signal at a second time instance. The UE calculates a distance traveled by the UE between the first time instance and the second time instance. The UE calculates a DOA of the at least one RF signal based on the first measurement, the second measurement, and the distance traveled by the UE between the first time instance and the second time instance. The UE outputs a third indication of the calculated DoA of the at least one RF signal.

Abstract: Antenna hopping techniques for Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) measurements in positioning of a user equipment (UE) include, for each of a plurality of successive measurement instances, taking a set of measurements of a respective set of PRS resources during the respective measurement instance using only one subset of a plurality of subsets of antennas of the UE, such that different subsets of the plurality of subsets of antennas of the UE are used for different measurement instances of the plurality of successive measurement instances. Each subset comprises one or more, but fewer than all, antennas of the UE. Techniques include sending one or more measurement reports from the UE to a location server. Each of the one or more measurement reports may comprise: information indicative of a respective set of measurements, and a timestamp corresponding to the respective measurement instance during which the respective set of measurements were taken.
