Abstract: Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communication system in which a network node is allowed to puncture a reference signal (RS) to deliver high priority data (e.g., URLLC data) to a user equipment (UE) that is not currently being served by the network node. In an aspect, the RS comprises a puncturable subset and an unpuncturable subset. In an aspect, the puncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are allowed to be punctured, and the unpuncturable subset comprises resources of the RS that are prohibited from being punctured. In an aspect, the network node transmits the RS such that unpuncturable subset indicates whether or not the puncturable subset of the RS has or has not been punctured.

Abstract: A mobile device supports positioning with positioning reference signals (PRS) on multiple beam by dividing the PRS processing into two separate modes, an acquisition mode and a tracking mode. In acquisition mode, the mobile device performs a fast scan of all of the beams from a base station transmitting PRS using less than the full set of resources for the PRS, i.e., less than the full bandwidth and/or less than the full number of repetitions of the PRS. The mobile device may select the best beams to use for positioning, e.g., based on signal strength metric. In tracking mode, the mobile device tracks the PRS from only the selected beams using the full set of resources for the PRS. The mobile device may return to acquisition mode after a predetermined number of positioning occasions or if the selected beams are no longer valid due to movement or change in conditions.

Abstract: The positioning capabilities of a User Equipment (UE) are stored in a core network to reduce positioning latency when the UE indicates that its positioning capabilities are stable and/or are long term valid. The UE may provide its positioning capabilities to a location server during a location session along with an indication of whether the positioning capabilities are stable. The location server may enable storage of the positioning capabilities for the UE in the core network, e.g., in the location server or another entity in the core network such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), if there is an indication that the positioning capabilities are stable. The AMF may include a UE identifier in location requests with which the location server may retrieve the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the location server or may include the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the AMF.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for receiving reference radio frequency (RF) signals for positioning estimation. In an aspect, a receiver device receives, from a transmission point, a reference RF signal on a wireless channel receives, from a positioning entity, an indication that the reference RF signal serves as a source for a quasi-collocation (QCL) type(s) for positioning reference RF signals received by the receiver device from the transmission point on the wireless channel, measures an average delay, a delay spread, or both the average delay and the delay spread of the reference RF signal based on the QCL type(s), receives, from the transmission point, a positioning reference RF signal on the wireless channel, and identifies a time of arrival (ToA) of the positioning reference RF signal based on the measured average delay, the delay spread, or both the average delay and the delay spread of the reference RF signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for scheduling uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) physical layer resources for a serving node and a user equipment (UE) for round trip time (RTT) and observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) based positioning. In an aspect, a serving node and/or a network entity configure the UL and DL physical layer resources, and inform the UE. A network node transmits RTT measurement (RTTM) signal to the UE and receives RTT response (RTTR) signals from the UE. The network node measures the times the RTTM signals are transmitted and the times the RTTR signals are received. The UE provides to serving node processing times indicating a duration between the UE receiving the RTTM signals and the UE transmitting the RTTR signals. The RTTs are calculated from the times measured by the network node and the processing times provided by the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transmit power control for positioning using non-serving cells are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink reference signal may be associated with a positioning procedure. In some cases, the positioning procedure may include transmission, by the UE, of the reference signal to a non-serving cell, which may be farther away from the UE than a serving cell. The UE may determine an absence of a parameter associated with a transmit power for transmitting the reference signal. Based on the absence, the UE may determine the transmit power based on parameters received from a serving cell, based on configuration information, based on a message intercepted from the non-serving cell, or based on other considerations or information. In some cases, the UE may determine the transmit power such that the likelihood of the non-serving cell receiving the reference signal is increased.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for providing configurable reference signal timing difference (RSTD) search windows for positioning. In an aspect, an RSTD search window is configured based on a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration. The RSTD search window is provided to the UE. A plurality of PRS is transmitted from a network entity to a user equipment (UE), each PRS having the PRS configuration. The plurality of PRS are transmitted in a subset that is less than all subcarriers over a given bandwidth.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for multi-level configuration and reporting for positioning in new radio (NR) wireless communications systems. In some wireless communications systems, a network entity may determine a position or location of a supported user equipment (UE) using radio access network information. The information may be associated with UE-assisted positioning techniques, such as a positioning reference signal (PRS) transmission by the base station and reporting of radio signaling measurements by the UE. The UE may support a multi-level configuration for reporting the radio signaling measurements, including determined report quantities on one or more of a resource level, a set level, or a setting level for the PRS transmission, or generally for the network entity. The described techniques may improve robustness associated with the reporting and, in some examples, reduce signaling overhead associated with determining a positioning and location of the UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) periodically obtains its location using UE based Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA). The location is based on Reference Signal Time Differences (RSTDs) measured by the UE for downlink (DL) signals transmitted by each of a plurality of base stations, and the most current Real Time Differences (RTDs) for pairs of base stations. The RTDs may be determined by the UE using the RSTD measurements and Round Trip Time (RTT) measurements determined by a network entity or by the UE. The RTDs may be determined less frequently than the UE location to reduce network and UE load. Location of the UE may be improved based on testing a rate of change for each of the RTDs. The RTD determination may be improved using measurements from a plurality of UEs.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for time-domain processing of DL-PRS signals under certain conditions in which time-domain processing has a computational advantage over frequency-domain processing. Because of this, embodiments can provide positioning at a lower computational cost than positioning provided by traditional techniques utilizing only frequency-domain processing. This reduced computational cost can improve the battery life of mobile devices, ultimately resulting in a better user experience.
