Abstract
In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may implement a ranging support protocol layer comprising one or more ranging support elements. The UE may communicate, using the one or more ranging support elements of the ranging support protocol layer, with a corresponding ranging support protocol layer in one or more other UEs, wherein the communicating is conducted via at least one lower protocol layer implemented at the UE. The UE may provide, at the ranging support protocol layer, a positioning service to an upper protocol layer implemented at the UE, the positioning service based at least in part on the communicating.
