    Abstract: A terminal position is determined with differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) using GNSS signals from a plurality of satellite vehicles and differential corrections generated by a reference station for the GNSS signals and broadcast via a DGNSS server. The use of the differential corrections for positioning is interrupted when the determined terminal position does not improve with use of the differential corrections. The differential corrections may be interrupted for a period of time so that the terminal no longer receives the broadcast of the differential corrections or so that the differential corrections are not used for position estimation in order to reduce power consumption and reduce processing operations. The DGNSS capabilities of the terminal, such as the supported GNSS constellations and/or frequency bands, may be used by the DGNSS server to select differential corrections to broadcast to the terminal.

    Abstract: A position information provision method includes: determining, at a UE, first estimated locations of a first plurality of satellite vehicles based on first satellite vehicle position information that has exceeded a first expiration time of the first satellite vehicle position information; determining, at the UE, a first position estimate based on the first estimated locations of the first plurality of satellite vehicles, and first measurements of first satellite vehicle signals received by the UE; and transmitting, from the UE to a network entity, the first position estimate, a first indication of the first plurality of satellite vehicles from which signals were used to determine the first position estimate, a second indication of the first satellite vehicle position information used to determine the first position estimate, and a third indication of a first time corresponding to the first position estimate.

    Abstract: A method includes: receiving one or more positioning signals; determining that a UE is line-of-sight to fewer than a threshold number of positioning signal sources; determining a first position estimate hypothesis for the UE using a first position estimating process and one or more first measurements of the positioning signal(s); determining a second position estimate hypothesis for the UE using a second position estimating process and one or more second measurements of the positioning signal(s), wherein the second position estimating process uses a second parameter value of a parameter and the parameter is absent from the first position estimating process or has a first parameter value that is different from the second parameter value; and reporting a reported position estimate based on the first position estimate hypothesis or the second position estimate hypothesis in response to the UE being line-of-sight to fewer than the threshold number of positioning signal sources.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for determining a time are provided. An example method may include receiving, in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) denied environment, a plurality of sidelink messages from a plurality of sources. The example method may further include selecting a time source from the plurality of sources based on the plurality of sidelink messages and based on at least one of: a respective distance traveled within the GNSS denied environment associated with each source of the plurality of sources or a respective time inside the GNSS denied environment of the plurality of sources. The example method may further include performing, based on a time provided by the time source, at least one of a positioning activity, a timing maintenance activity, or a communication activity.

    Abstract: An integer ambiguity resolution method includes: receiving SPS signals; determining, for the SPS signals, candidate float ambiguity values indicative of float numbers of carrier signal wavelengths of the SPS signals between respective satellite sources, of the SPS signals, and the mobile device; and performing, in response to failure of an integer ambiguity resolution validation check based on at least a first subset of the candidate float ambiguity values, an integer ambiguity search using at least a second subset of the candidate float ambiguity values; wherein each candidate float ambiguity value of the at least second subset of the candidate float ambiguity values corresponds to a second indication of candidate float ambiguity accuracy that is higher than a first indication of candidate float ambiguity accuracy, if any, corresponding to the at least first subset of the candidate float ambiguity values.

    Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) may receive a first set of beacon signals from a set of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) devices. The first UE may restrict growth of a position uncertainty (PUNC) value associated with the first UE based on a maximum vehicle speed and based on a lack of a reception of a beacon signal from the set of GNSS devices within a threshold period of time. The first UE may restrict growth of the PUNC value further based on a relative velocity profile associated with the first UE. The first UE may receive a message including a second relative velocity profile from a second UE. The first UE may calculate the relative velocity profile based on the second relative velocity profile.
