Abstract: Aspects presented herein may improve the precision and performance of a TDOA-based UE positioning scheme that is associated with an NTN. In one aspect, a UE receives, from a first satellite, a first PRS at a first reception time. The UE receives, from a second satellite, a second PRS at a second reception time and an indication of a transmission-reception time difference, the transmission-reception time difference being a difference between a time the second satellite transmits the second PRS to the UE and a time the second satellite receives an RS from the first satellite. The UE calculates an RSTD for the first PRS and the second PRS based at least in part on the first reception time of the first PRS, the second reception time of the second PRS, and the transmission-reception time difference.

Abstract: Techniques for communication by a user equipment (UE) are disclosed. Techniques can include determining a positioning state information (PSI) report to transmit, where the PSI report comprises positioning-related information, and selecting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource with which to transmit the PSI report, where the selected PUCCH resource comprises a number of resource blocks (RBS). Techniques can further include determining whether to transmit the PSI report using the selected PUCCH resource, based on: the number of RBS, a size of uplink control information (UCI) to be transmitted using the selected PUCCH resource, the selected PUCCH resource being configured with a capability to include both the PSI report and a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK), or the selected PUCCH resource being configured to include only one or more PSI reports, and optionally one or more CSI reports, as a payload, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: In an aspect, a first base station (e.g., Rx gNB) receives, from a radar controller, a configuration of UL T-F resources for the first base station to receive at least one radar signal from a second base station. The first base station further determines power control parameter(s) associated with the at least one radar signal, at least one UL transmission, or a combination thereof. The first base station performs, based on the power control parameter(s), action(s) to mitigate impact by the at least one radar signal to the at least one UL transmission, or by the at least one UL transmission to the at least one radar signal, or a combination thereof. The first base station measures the at least one radar signal on the set of UL T-F resources in accordance with the configuration.

Abstract: In some implementations, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) platform may transmit radio frequency (RF) signals toward earth, the RF signals comprising an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform with a plurality of symbols including a JCS symbol and one or more non-JCS symbols, wherein: the RF signals are incident on an area of the earth defining a footprint, and a duration of a cyclic prefix (CP) of the JCS symbol is a function of a width of the footprint. The NTN platform may receive, at the NTN platform, one or more reflections of the JCS symbol.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as a user equipment (UE), may determine a capability relating to an antenna configuration associated with channel state information reporting. The UE may transmit a message including an indication of the capability, and receive a channel state information reference signal using the antenna configuration. The UE may transmit, based on the channel state information reference signal, a channel state information report in accordance with the antenna configuration associated with the channel state information reporting.

Abstract: Wireless positioning accuracy of a user equipment (UE) is impacted by locations of the transmit/receive points (TRPs) and UE for wireless positioning. To improve the accuracy of estimated locations, a geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) may be determined for different groups of candidate TRPs, with the GDOP indicating a potential positioning error associated with the group of candidate TRPs. A UE may determine GDOPs for different combinations of candidate TRPs. One or more devices of a wireless network (e.g., a location server and/or a UE for positioning) may select or exclude one or more candidate TRPs from being used for wireless positioning of a UE based on the determined GDOPs. Exclusion or selection of candidate TRPs for wireless positioning may also be based on quality measurements of PRSs (such as an RSRP or SNR) or a time duration associated with measuring the PRSs from the candidate TRPs to be selected.

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: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), (DL) positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system may be preempted or punctured by higher priority transmissions, such as ultra-reliable low-latency traffic (URLLC). A PRS preemption indication (PI) may be provided to a UE identifying one or more TRPs affected by preemption. The PRS PI may further identify the time domain and frequency domain of the preempted DL PRS transmissions. The PRS PI may identify the time domain, e.g., based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain positioning reference signals associated with the group of TRPs are counted. The PRS PI may identify the frequency domain by identifying at least one of four or more frequency sub-bands of the preempted DL PRS transmissions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to estimate a signal-to-noise ratio for each antenna port associated with a reception of one or more tracking reference signals. The UE may receive one or more of multiple single-port tracking reference signals, a single multi-port tracking reference signal, or a tracking reference signal associated with multiple power ratios. The UE may be able to estimate a channel upon receiving a demodulation reference signal. The channel estimation may be based on the reception of one or more of multiple single-port tracking reference signals, the single multi-port tracking reference signal, or the tracking reference signal associated with multiple power ratios. The UE may communicate with the base station based on estimating the channel.

Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) sensing of a target object by a wireless network is supported by a sensing node and a network node using sensing assistance data. The sensing assistance data may include information for Doppler estimation from received RF signals. The information for Doppler estimation, for example, may include an indication of phase coherency of RF signals, such as phase coherence found in positioning reference signal (PRS) resources, resource sets, transmission reception points (TRPs), frequency layer or any combination thereof. The sensing assistance data may include an association of PRS resources and reference point objects (RPOs) so RF signals reflected from the RPOs may be excluded from the sensing measurements. The sensing assistance data may include beam pattern information for PRS resources for beam coordination for RF sensing.
