Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to beam selection during downlink positioning. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal devices are grouped based on their characteristics and the anchor terminal device in the group determines the best transmitting beam of the neighbor network device. The non-anchor terminal device uses the assistance information of the best transmitting beam determined by the anchor terminal device. In this way, cost for the terminal device to receive and measure the PRS during downlink positioning has been reduced.

Beam selection during downlink positioning

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising determining that a first mobile terminal is a personal device, receiving, from the first mobile terminal, information about a status of the first mobile terminal, determining whether the first mobile terminal is a Vulnerable Road User, VRU, with respect to a vehicle based at least partly on the received information about the status of the first mobile terminal, detecting a potential collision between the first mobile terminal and the vehicle when the first mobile terminal is determined as a VRU and transmitting at least one warning message to the first mobile terminal in case that the first mobile terminal is determined as a VRU and the potential collision is detected.

Improving operation of wireless communication networks for detecting vulnerable road users

It is proposed a device to process data to be transmitted via a first radio module of a radio communications network, in which data to be transmitted is mapped on subcarriers and in the radio module subsequently up-converted to a radio frequency higher than the subcarrier frequencies, wherein the subcarriers are grouped into frequency subbands, and wherein at least one subband is scalable with at least one subband parameter, wherein a subband parameter is in particular a subcarrier spacing, and wherein in at least one subband at least two different parameters, in particular subcarrier spacings, can be used.

Device to process data to be transmitted via a first radio module

A device to process a channel state information reference signal CSI-RS and further data to be transmitted via a first radio module of a radio communications network, in which data to be transmitted is mapped on subcarriers and in the radio module subsequently up-converted to a radio frequency higher than the subcarrier frequencies is provided. The subcarriers are grouped into frequency subbands, and at least one subband is scalable with at least one subband parameter for a period of time. A subband parameter is in particular a subcarrier spacing, and in at least one subband at least two different parameters, in particular subcarrier spacings, can be used.
