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.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to positioning enhancements. A first device receives, from a second device, first configuration information of a first set of passive radios for transmitting a plurality of first target signals in response to receiving a plurality of first reference signals from a third device. The first device receives, from the third device, at least one first reference signal. Upon receiving the at least one first reference signal, the first device receives, based on the first configuration information, the plurality of first target signals from the first set of passive radios. The first device transmits, to the second device, measurements related to the at least one first reference signal and the plurality of first target signals for positioning the first device. In this way, non-LoS detection for positioning is enabled, and the positioning accuracy is improved.
