    Abstract: An exemplary communications system includes a first base station and a second base station. The first base station transmits a first signal to the second base station, and the second base station receives the first signal and transmits a second signal in response. The first base station receives the second signal and transmits a third signal in response. A receiving unit of a device receives the first, second, and third signals. The device measures a first delay time between receipt of the first signal and receipt of the second signal, and measures a first round trip time based on receipt of the second signal and the third signal. A second round trip time and a second delay time are determined and a first time difference of arrival is calculated based on the first round trip time, first delay time, second round trip time and second delay time.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for positioning a terminal device. The method includes: generating, by a terminal device, a first message, where the first message includes one or more pieces of first time difference information, and the first time difference information includes a first time difference and information about a first positioning reference signal pair corresponding to the first time difference, where the first positioning reference signal pair includes a first uplink positioning reference signal and a first downlink positioning reference signal that have an association relationship, and the first time difference is a time difference between a sending time point of the first uplink positioning reference signal and a receiving time point of the first downlink positioning reference signal; and sending, by the terminal device, the first message to a network device.

    Abstract: Ultra-wideband (UWB) tags can be used as part of a high-resolution motion capture system that may not require a cost or a complexity that is typically associated with visually based motion capture systems. The UWB based motion capture uses a bundle of UWB tags, which in a possible implementation, can be affixed to body parts of a user to sense motion of the body parts. The absolute positions of each UWB tag can then be determined by reconstructing a skeletal topology from a Euclidean distance matrix based on inter-tag ranging measurements using handshake signals of a UWB protocol.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a first network node performs a reception-to-transmission (Rx-Tx) time difference measurement, the Rx-Tx time difference measurement representing a difference between a reception time of at least one first positioning reference signal (PRS) from a second network node and a transmission time of at least one second PRS to the second network node, and transmits, to a positioning entity, based on a value of the Rx-Tx time difference measurement being greater than a threshold, a measurement report including a first value and a second value representing the value of the Rx-Tx time difference measurement, wherein the first value is a quotient value resulting from dividing the value of the Rx-Tx time difference measurement by the threshold, and wherein the second value is a remainder value resulting from dividing the value of the Rx-Tx time difference measurement by the threshold.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses systems and/or methods of Collaborative Time of Arrival (CToA). For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a CToA broadcasting wireless communication station (STA) (bSTA) to broadcast an announcement frame to announce a ranging-to-self sequence of a CToA measurement protocol; to broadcast a first ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the announcement frame; to broadcast a second ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the first ranging measurement frame; and to broadcast a Location Measurement Report (LMR) frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the second ranging measurement frame, the LMR frame including a Time of Departure (ToD) of the first ranging measurement frame.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for sensor auto-location using phased antenna array beamforming are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method of sensor auto-location using phased antenna array beamforming includes sending a radio frequency (RF) signal beam directed towards a given tire placement direction of a vehicle. In this embodiment, the method includes receiving an acknowledgement from a sensor and determining whether one or more signal attributes indicated in the acknowledgement are within one or more predefined ranges for the one or more signal attributes and corresponding to the given tire placement direction. In response to the one or more signal attributes being within the one or more predefined ranges, the method includes determining that the sensor is fitted on the given tire placement direction.

    Abstract: An example method of ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing performed by a wireless communication device, the method comprising determining a first channel impulse response (CIR) estimation of a first frequency channel based on a radio access technology (RAT) session, wherein the RAT is different from UWB. The method also comprises determining a second CIR estimation of a second frequency channel based on a UWB session and determining a third CIR estimation of the first frequency channel based on determining a phase difference between the third CIR estimation and the first CIR estimation. The method further comprises determining a total CIR estimation for a combined frequency channel comprising the first frequency channel and the second frequency channel based on stitching the first CIR estimation, the second CIR estimation, and the third CIR estimation.
