Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to verify the integrity of map data, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of map-aiding positioning and/or map-based positioning. In one aspect, a UE performs a map-aiding positioning based on a first set of map data. The UE verifies whether an integrity of the first set of map data meets an accuracy threshold. The UE discards the first set of map data if the verification of the integrity of the first set of map data does not meet the accuracy threshold. For example, the UE may compare the first set of map data with a second set of map data from a different source, and identify the integrity of the first set of map data does not meet the accuracy threshold if the comparison shows an indication of inconsistency above a consistency threshold.

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: A multipath condition detection method includes: determining a first signal quality value corresponding to a first wireless signal, of a first frequency and from a signal source, received by a receiver of a mobile device; determining a second signal quality value corresponding to a second wireless signal, of a second frequency that is different from the first frequency, received by the receiver; and determining whether at least one difference value, corresponding to the first signal quality value and the second signal quality value, is indicative of the mobile device being in a multipath condition with respect to the signal source.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for applying plate tectonic model information to improve the accuracy of base station assisted satellite navigation systems. An example method for determining a location of a mobile device includes receiving base station measurement, coordinate and epoch information, receiving base station velocity information, receiving signals from a plurality of satellite vehicles, and determining the location of the mobile device based on the signals received from the plurality of satellite vehicles, the base station measurement, coordinate and epoch information, and the station velocity information.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to improve (e.g., reduce) the convergence time for vision-aided positioning by enabling the UE to use images embedded with location information. In one aspect, a UE receives, from a reference device, a server, or a map, a list of visual features and a location for each visual feature in the list of visual features. The UE identifies at least one visual feature in an area via at least one camera, where the at least one visual feature is included in the list of visual features, where the area is within a threshold distance of the UE. The UE estimates a position of the UE based on the identified at least one visual feature in the area and the location corresponding to the at least one visual feature.

Abstract: Techniques for precise positioning using differential carrier phase (DCP)-based measurement updates are disclosed. The techniques can include obtaining a pseudorange observation for a positioning epoch and a carrier phase observation for the positioning epoch based on measurements of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals transmitted by one or more space vehicles (SVs) of a GNSS constellation, generating a differential carrier phase observation for the positioning epoch based on the carrier phase observation for the positioning epoch and a determination that real-time kinematic (RTK) correction data associated with the GNSS constellation is unavailable, and generating a position, velocity, and time (PVT) observation of the mobile device for the positioning epoch based on the differential carrier phase observation for the positioning epoch.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a network entity (e.g., a location server, an LMF, etc.) to generate and configure virtual anchors and/or virtual positioning reference units (VPRUs) for a UE for UE-based positioning. In one aspect, a network entity receives an indication to perform UE-based positioning for a UE. The network entity configures, for the UE, assistance data that includes a list of virtual anchors and a list of VPRUs for the UE-based positioning. The network entity transmits the assistance data including the list of virtual anchors and the list of VPRUs. The network entity may generate the list of virtual anchors based on a location offset to each physical anchor in a set of physical anchors. The network entity may generate the list of VPRUs based on at least one physical PRU.

Abstract: Position, Velocity, and Time (PVT) information of a LEO satellite can be determined by leveraging a known position of a mobile device comprising a terrestrial satellite receiver of the LEO satellite and using range information (range and/or range rate) of the LEO satellite taken at the mobile device. According to some embodiments, this PVT information can be shared by the mobile device with the server and/or other mobile devices, and information from multiple mobile devices can be crowdsourced to determine robust PVT information for a LEO satellite. Once the PVT information is determined, it can be used to subsequently for positioning of the mobile device and/or other mobile devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for vehicle positioning. In an aspect, a positioning engine aggregator of a host vehicle determines a position estimate of the host vehicle based on one or more position fixes determined by one or more positioning engines of the host vehicle, receives input from a user interface (UI) of the host vehicle to correct the position estimate of the host vehicle, and updates the position estimate of the host vehicle based on the input from the UI.
