    Abstract: Radio network Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs) may be managed dynamically via user equipment (UE) requests triggered by measurements in accordance with initial PRS configurations, whereby a UE contacts an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and/or a Location Management Function (LMF). Similarly, an LMF may initiate adjustments in PRS configurations and transmission via communications with base stations, UEs, and/or AMFs. Dynamic signaling of PRS configurations may be achieved via legacy protocols and/or New Radio Positioning Protocol A (NRPPa), for example. A requests from a UE for PRS configuration adjustment may include an indication of a required level of service or of a class of service, for example, and/or an indication of signal measurements, a position estimate, an indication of a capability of the UE.

    Abstract: A first apparatus receives, from a second apparatus via a sidelink (SL) transmission, first configuration parameters for a first SL DRX group and second configuration parameters for a second SL DRX group. The first configuration parameters for the first SL DRX group comprise: a common SL DRX parameter set that is shared with the second configuration parameters for the second SL DRX group, and a first dedicated SL DRX configuration parameter set. The first dedicated DRX parameter set comprises: a first on duration at the beginning of a SL DRX cycle of the first apparatus, and a first duration: after an occasion of a PSCCH carrying a first-stage SL control information (SCI) indicates a new SL transmission for a MAC entity of the first apparatus, or after an occasion of a PSSCH carrying a second-stage SCI indicates a new SL transmission for the MAC entity of the first apparatus. The first apparatus determines that the first apparatus is in a first SL active time for receiving information on the SL based on the first configuration parameters for the first SL DRX group, and in a second SL active time for receiving information on the SL based on the configuration parameter for the second SL DRX group.

    Abstract: Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.

    Abstract: The exchange of resource allocation assistance information between a requester User Equipment (UE) and an assistant UE allows the requester to make better resource allocation decisions. The assistance information may include a blacklist, a whitelist, resource allocation information, a candidate resource set, and measurement information, for example. Both UEs may have an assistance configuration to assist in the exchange of resource allocation assistance information, that may be obtained from a third apparatus, such as a base station. The configuration may include information related to when to trigger assistance, identities of UEs, and types of assistance information, for example. The requester may, based on the assistance information received, modify a candidate resource set at a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The requester may, at the MAC layer, determine a configured sidelink grant for a selected destination using assistance information targeting this destination.

    Abstract: A Sidelink AS group management function is disclosed for a UE to discover group members and organize them into AS layer sub-groups based on the AS layer group context information. A centralized Sidelink AS group management is disclosed that the Sidelink AS Group Manager discovers group members and organizes them into AS layer sub-groups for a UE. A Subgroup formation and configuration procedure is disclosed that SL AS Group Manager organizes the ULG into AS layer sub-groups, configures UE-to-UE relays for each UE in the ULG and sends the AS group management information to the UE. A distributed Sidelink AS group management method is disclosed that each UE discovers its group members and organizes the ULG into AS layer sub-groups. New Layer 2 structures and procedures are disclosed to enhance bearer management for Sidelink groupcast communications.
