    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a non- terrestrial network (NTN)-capable user equipment (UE) determines to perform at least one NTN transmission to an NTN station, and transmits information associated with the at least one NTN transmission to one or more one or more global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-capable UEs via at least one peer-to-peer (P2P) channel. The NTN-capable UE performs the at least one NTN transmission. At least one of the GNSS-capable UEs receives the information, and performs one or more GNSS position measurements based on the information so as not to overlap with the at least one NTN transmission in a time domain, a frequency domain, or both.

  • Publication number: 20240045073
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enhance the navigation function of navigation/map applications or systems when GNSS signals are weak or sporadic. In one aspect, a UE monitors a position of the UE based on GNSS communication, where the position of the UE is monitored using at least one first map layer of a plurality of map layers associated with a map. The UE detects that the position of the UE corresponds to a predefined location when the GNSS communication is below a communication threshold. The UE switches to monitoring the position of the UE using at least one second map layer of the plurality of map layers upon detecting that the position of the UE corresponds to the predefined location, where the at least one second map layer is associated with the predefined location.

  • Publication number: 20230331235
    Abstract: Collaborative enhanced sensing systems and techniques are described. A system obtains sensor data of an environment from one or more sensors. The sensor data includes different representations of one or more portions of the environment from multiple perspectives. The system identifies a subset of the different representations of the one or more portions of the environment based on context corresponding to a vehicle in the environment. The context can include, for example, a position, a direction of travel, a speed, and/or a planned movement of the vehicle. The system causes an enhanced representation of the environment for the vehicle to be generated at least in part based on consolidating and/or fusing together the subset of the different representations. The system can cause an indication of the enhanced representation of the environment to be output at the vehicle.
