The present disclosure provides a terminal device. The terminal device can receive a first parameter for the terminal device, wherein a first carrier is used by the terminal device. The terminal device can perform a comparison between the first parameter and one or more thresholds, and determine a second parameter for the terminal device based on the comparison. The second parameter can indicate a time interval for the terminal device to search for one or more carriers with a priority higher than the first carrier. The terminal device can receive the first parameter from a network device.

Method of determining measurement requirements on higher priority carriers

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for implicit indication of positioning related information. A first device selects a reference signal (RS) sequence from a plurality of available RS sequences. Based on the selected RS sequence, the first device generates a RS for positioning and then transmits the generated RS to a second device to indicate, with the selection of the reference signal sequence, at least part of side information related to the positioning.

Indication of positioning related information

The disclosure includes an apparatus, having: means for receiving, from a network entity, configuration information to indicate a window which is bandwidth-part free; and means for transmitting, to the network entity, a sounding reference signal in frequency hopping within the indicated window. The disclosure also includes a method which may include receive, from a network entity, configuration information to indicate a window which is bandwidth-part free. The method may also include transmitting, to the network entity, a sounding reference signal in frequency hopping within the indicated window.

Bandwidth part free sounding reference signal for positioning frequency hopping

An apparatus, for example a target UE, may be configured to: request at least one single difference carrier phase measurement of at least one positioning reference signal, wherein the at least one single difference carrier phase measurement is performed with at least one positioning reference unit; transmit an indication of a set of time-stamps for measurement of the at least one positioning reference signal; receive first measurement data for the at least one positioning reference signal, wherein the first measurement data comprises, at least, the at least one single difference carrier phase measurement measured with reference to the set of time-stamps; and determine a location estimation of the apparatus, comprising performing a double differential operation based, at least partially, on the first measurement data and second measurement data.

Enhancing positioning measurement

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for using angle error groups (AEGs) to improve angle of arrival (AoA) positioning may be provided. For example, for a specific received signal, one or more receiving antenna elements that can be considered to have almost the same incident angle within a certain margin may be defined as a group. The group of receive (Rx) antenna elements (or a group of Rx antennas) may be defined as an AEG. The configuration of an AEG for each TRP and the AEG may be used for AoA measurement and reporting. The gNB or transmit receive point (TRP) may perform AoA measurements and may determine an AoA for the AEGs.
