Systems and methods are provided to determine an estimated location of a user equipment (UE). For instance, a UE can provide a positioning request to a node while the UE is in a radio resource control idle (RRC_IDLE) or inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state. The positioning request can be implemented in a random access channel (RACH) message A (MsgA). The UE can then receive a positioning response from the node. The positioning response can be implemented in a RACH message B (MsgB).

Systems and methods of providing new radio positioning

The present disclosure relates to selecting a Local Management Function (LMF) in a wireless communication network, a next generation Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) acquires a capability from a user equipment (UE), the capability indicating whether the UE is capable of supporting LMF in Radio Access Network (RAN). An access and mobility management function (AMF) is then notified whether the UE is capable of supporting LMF in RAN. An LMF selection is then received from the AMF. Then a response is transmitted to the UE based on the received LMF selection, the response indicating whether a positioning procedure to be carried out by the UE is based on LMF in RAN. In this manner, the capabilities of the UE are taken into consideration when selecting an LMF for a positioning procedure.

Apparatus and method for support of location management functionality in a radio access network

Systems and methods of providing RAT co-existence and congestion control in V2V communications are generally described. A vUE detects specific non-LTE RAT transmissions in a listening period of a PSCCH or PSSCH, determines whether a metric has been met and reselects to a non-overloaded channel to communicate with other vUEs or the eNB. The manner of reselection is dependent on the RAT specific or V2X service priorities of the channels, as well as whether the channels are V2V service dependent.

Intra- and inter-RAT co-existence and congestion control for LTE PC5-based vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication

Devices and methods provide for transmitting downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRSs) in a wireless system. A DL PRS resource pool is configured and divided into a plurality of DL PRS resource sets. The DL PRS resource pool includes a periodically repeated amount of resources dedicated for DL PRS transmission by a plurality of gNBs in the wireless communication system. The plurality of DL PRS resource sets correspond to one or more gNB of the plurality of the gNBs. The DL PRSs are encoded for transmission on configured DL PRS resources within the plurality of DL PRS resource sets.

Radio (NR) downlink (DL) positioning reference signal (PRS) design resource allocation and mapping in NR positioning

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to new mechanisms of resource allocation for transmission of positioning or ranging (e.g., sounding) reference signals. The embodiments may provide flexible and/or efficient resource allocation, and may improve accuracy of user positioning. The techniques described herein may be applied for multiple use cases, including UAS, V2X, IIoT, etc.

Distributed resource management mode for NR positioning

A method, system, or apparatus may multiplex a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH). The system may apply a power boost to the PSCCH. Additionally, the method, system, or apparatus may power boost a portion of the PSSCH that corresponds to the frequency resources used by the PSSCH.

NR V2X sidelink structures for PSCCH cover enhancement

A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to obtain a cyclic shift value in time domain. The cyclic shift value is associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port (AP) of a plurality of available DM-RS APs. A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.

Reference signal and control information processing in 5G-NR wireless systems

A method and apparatus of a device that performs a new radio (NR) downlink (DL) positioning reference signal (PRS) resource scheduling is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device configures at least one of a NR DL PRS Resource Pool, a NR DL PRS Resource Set, a NR DL PRS Resource, and a muting pattern. In addition, the configured NR DL PRS Resource Set may be assigned to a separate Transmission Reception Point (TRP). Furthermore, a list of configured NR DL PRS Resource Sets can be assigned to a separate TRP. The assigned NR DL PRS Resource Set may include PRS Resources with different spatial filters. In addition, the assigned NR DL PRS Resource Set can include PRS Resources with the same spatial filter.

Method and system for DL PRS transmission for accurate rat-dependent NR positioning

A wireless communication device is disclosed for setting transmission slot priorities in a broadcast environment. Upon receipt of a broadcast signal from the wireless communication environment, the UE analyzes the received signal to determine time slots in which members of its own group are transmitting. The UE then sets priorities of previously-used time slots to be low for allocation purposes. When the UE needs to transmit a signal, it first performs allocation of time slots within the signal frame. This allocation is performed based on the earlier-set priorities such that time slots identified as being used by other group members will not be used unless necessary.

Sidelink physical layer procedures for collision avoidance, HARQ feedback, and CSI acquisition

Systems, methods, and circuitries are disclosed for determining a position of a wireless device. In one example, an apparatus for a first wireless communication device including baseband circuitry having a radio frequency (RF) interface configured to transmit and receive RF signals is provided. The apparatus includes one or more processors configured to process a signal received from a second wireless communication device to identify at least first arrival path and a different arrival path between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device; and determine a location of the second wireless communication device based on the first arrival path and the different arrival path.

Techniques for improving new radio (NR) positioning performance

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may detect one or more LTE synchronization signals from an eNB over an LTE Uu interface between the UE and the eNB. The LTE synchronization signals may be detected in resources allocated for LTE communication. The LTE synchronization signals may be detected in accordance with an LTE protocol. The UE may determine, based on the LTE synchronization signals, a reference timing and a reference frequency for NR vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication over an NR PC5 interface with another UE.

Sidelink communication under control of LTE UU interface or NR interface

Methods disclosed herein may include receiving, at a gNB from a UE, a minimum time gap between a reception at the UE of a configuring message that configures a sending of an SL transmission by the UE and the sending of the SL transmission. Alternatively, the minimum time gap may be measured from the reception at the UE of a DCI message that triggers an SL transmission and the sending of the SL transmission. The method may further include determining, at the gNB, timing information (e.g., an offset, or an absolute time) for the UE to use to schedule the SL transmission, the timing information based on the minimum time gap; generating, at the gNB, a message including a field indicating the timing information; and sending, from the gNB, the message to the UE. Analogous methods for UEs are also disclosed herein. Systems implementing these methods are also disclosed.

Systems and methods of providing timing of SL transmission when scheduled by NR gNB

A user equipment (UE), gNodeB or network component can be configured to support a data-aided sidelink synchronization. In response to losing a sidelink synchronization reference, sidelink synchronization tracking or performing an initial sidelink synchronization, data-aided sidelink synchronization can be performed by deriving or maintaining a sidelink synchronization from a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission of another network device, UE or vehicle to everything (V2X) based on data of another reference signal that is with the PSCCH or the PSSCH transmission.
