Abstract
In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may exchange a plurality of sidelink (SL) positioning protocol (SLPP) messages with other UEs in a plurality of UEs, where the plurality of SLPP messages are exchanged via direct wireless SL communications. At least one message of the plurality of SLPP messages may comprise a Request Capabilities message, a Provide Capabilities message, a Request Assistance Data message, a Provide Assistance Data message, a Request Location Information message, or a Provide Location Information message. The UE may perform the positioning based, at least in part, on the plurality of SLPP messages. The UE may further exchange SLPP messages with a location server (e.g. LMF) which may assist the UE to perform the positioning and may enable the location server to obtain location results for the plurality of UEs. SLPP procedures may be defined to manage the SL positioning.
