Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a terminal device (200) and a communication system (900) comprising at least one terminal device (902). The terminal device (200) comprises first circuitry (214) coupled to an antenna (202) and configured for a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation based on a dual frequency signal received via the antenna. A first frequency part (204) of the dual frequency signal matches the antenna resonance frequency and is used for charging an energy storage, and a second frequency part (206) of the dual frequency signal is used for performing the BPSK modulation at a mismatched frequency of an antenna impedance. The terminal device (200) also comprises second circuitry (212) coupled to the first circuitry and configured to control a state of the first circuitry for performing the BPSK modulation. The terminal device can support BPSK backscatter with low complexity, cost, and a small size.

Abstract: A solution for sidelink-assisted positioning of a terminal device. In an embodiment, a procedure in the terminal device includes transmitting, over a sidelink, a message including at least one information element requesting at least one anchor terminal device to report its location to the terminal device; receiving, over the sidelink from the at least one anchor terminal device, a location report including at least one information element indicating a location of the reporting anchor terminal device and an accuracy metric indicating accuracy of the location; determining a location estimate of the terminal device based on the accuracy metric and the location of the at least one anchor terminal device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a synchronization signal block beam sweep enabled smart meter. A method may include receiving information on an allocation of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks from a network element. One or more synchronization signal blocks may be received from the network element. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be configured with corresponding random access channel opportunities. The one or more synchronization signal blocks may be repeated in specific angular directions. A correct synchronization signal block beam may be configured at a correct time based on the random access channel opportunities. An indication may be received from the network element of which user equipment within a sector of a repeater element has connected on which random access channel opportunities.

Abstract: Aspects and embodiments relate generally to mechanisms to support power saving in a wireless communication network and more particularly to supporting discontinuous reception of a wake-up signal receiver at an apparatus comprising a wake-up signal receiver and a main radio receiver. One aspect provides an apparatus, comprising: a main radio receiver; a wake-up signal receiver; and a timer. The wake-up signal receiver comprises: circuitry configured to receive at least a portion of a broadcast message; circuitry configured to evaluate the received portion of the broadcast message to determine a time marker; and circuitry configured to provide the time marker to the timer. The apparatus may comprise a UE and may therefore be configured to align internal time keeping with the time keeping of a network, thus allowing discontinuous reception and associated energy savings, without transmission of additional specific synchronisation messaging by a network.
