    Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting measurement gap periods for positioning user equipment, UE, in 5G NR. A method for positioning a user equipment includes receiving (1302) positioning assistance data associated with one or more frequency layers from a network, determining (1304) measurement gap information for one or more bands associated with the one or more frequency layers, determining (1306) a number of available positioning reference signals for each of the one or more bands based on the positioning assistance data and the measurement gap information, measuring (1308) one or more positioning reference signals for a selected band, wherein the selected band is based on the number of available positioning reference signals in a measurement gap, and computing (1310) location information based at least in part on one or more positioning reference signal measurements.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may determine an energy detection threshold of a reference bandwidth, the energy detection threshold being based on at least one of a transmit power or a power class. The apparatus may also measure an interference level of at least one signal. Additionally, the apparatus may adjust the energy detection threshold of the reference bandwidth based on a sensing bandwidth. The apparatus may also determine whether a transmission medium is available based on at least one of the adjusted energy detection threshold or the measured interference level of the at least one signal.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information that configures a measurement gap for the UE. The UE may perform a first measurement and a second measurement in the measurement gap, wherein the first measurement and the second measurement are different types of measurements. The UE may transmit measurement information based at least in part on the first measurement or the second measurement. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits reference signals for positioning while in Idle or Inactive state. While in a connected state, the UE is preconfigured with Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource configuration including at least one of timing adjustment (TA) and an uplink (UL) transmission spatial filter. The UE transmits positioning SRS while in Idle or Inactive mode based on the preconfiguration. The TA and UL transmission spatial filter may be updated by a serving base station using control signals or a paging message received by the UE while in in Idle or Inactive mode. The validity of the TA and UL transmission spatial filter may be monitored using expiration timers or a relative position change threshold. The reference signals transmitted may be based on a UE may Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), which is insensitive to TA changes. A long sequence PRACH may be used for improved positioning accuracy.
