Abstract: A method of wireless communication, by a user equipment (UE), includes scanning a wireless network for a system information message containing inter-radio access technology (IRAT) frequency information for a non-terrestrial network. The method also includes displaying a non-terrestrial network icon on a user interface of the UE in response to receiving the system information message. The icon indicates non-terrestrial network coverage.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for controlling user equipment (UE) functionality associated with a mobility state. A UE may receive one or more mobility-based cell selection factors from a network. At least one mobility-based cell selection factor may indicate a preference for selecting a relatively lower-mobility cell. In some cell reselection examples, if a UE determines that multiple neighbor cells satisfy one or more cell reselection criteria, the UE may select the cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state. According to some call initiation examples in which a UE is configured for wireless communication via multiple subscriber services, the UE may select the subscriber service corresponding to the lower (or lowest) mobility state. According to some radio link failure (RLF) recovery examples in which there are multiple cells suitable for re-establishment, a UE may be configured to select a cell corresponding to the lowest mobility state.

Abstract: During a positioning session between a user equipment (UE) and a location server, the location server may send the base station a request to suspend the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the UE. For example, the location server may send a request to the base station recommending suspension of the connection or may provide an indication of the amount of time during which position related messages between the UE and the location server are not expected. The base station may determine whether to suspend the connection with the UE, thereby placing the UE in an inactive state based on the information provided. The base station may further determine whether to suspend the connection based on data activity of the UE. While in an inactive state, the UE and base station store UE connection context, which may be used to quickly resume the connection.

A user equipment (UE) may establish multiple wireless connections, such as a wireless connection for a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a wireless connection for a second SIM, that share time-frequency resources. The UE may communicate data packets with another device during a communication session on the wireless connection for the first SIM. The UE may determine to pause the communication session for a duration based on receiving an indication from the other UE or based on a user input to pause communication. The UE may communicate data packets on the wireless connection for the second SIM for at least a portion of the duration using the shared time-frequency resources based on pausing the communication session.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for coordinating radio frequency (RF) sensing by a plurality of wireless devices. Wireless devices obtain RF sensing coordination information that includes orthogonality information for transmission and reception of RF sensing signals to reduce or eliminate interference between RF sensing by different devices. The orthogonality information may be provided by a server, another wireless device, or a group of wireless devices. The orthogonality information is used by a wireless device to transmit and receive RF sensing signals that are orthogonal to RF sensing signals transmitted and received by other nearby wireless devices. The orthogonality information may be for orthogonality in a spatial domain, time domain, frequency domain, code domain, or some combination of these. The wireless devices perform RF sensing operations based at least in part on the RF sensing coordination information and report the RF sensing results.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may use random selection to select sidelink resources when a channel busy ratio (CBR) associated with a sidelink channel satisfies a CBR threshold. Alternatively, the UE may use partial sensing to select the sidelink resources when a block error ratio (BLER) associated with the sidelink channel fails to satisfy a BLER threshold. Accordingly, the UE may transmit on the sidelink channel using the sidelink resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for obtaining environmental information using radio frequency sensing by one or more wireless devices. An example method of crowd sensing and/or environmental detection using radio frequency sensing with one or more wireless devices includes providing radio frequency sensing assistance data to one or more wireless devices, receiving radio frequency sensing reports from the one or more wireless devices, determining one or more environmental characteristics based on the radio frequency sensing reports. Environmental characteristics can include a location or movement of one or more target objects, or attributes of one or more target objects (e.g., one or many people, vehicles, animals, drones or other target objects), or any combinations thereof. This may assist with monitoring of a crowd or road traffic and/or with identifying and tracking a particular person or vehicle.

In an aspect, a first network entity receives an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node information message from a second network entity, the IAB node information message including one or more parameters for at least one transmission-reception point (TRP) of a base station, wherein the at least one TRP corresponds to an IAB node, and wherein the one or more parameters are related to the at least one TRP corresponding to the IAB node, and performs one or more positioning operations based on the one or more parameters to locate a target user equipment (UE) engaged in a positioning session with a location server.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless position estimation of a user equipment (UE) involving one or more uplink (UL) relays. The UL relay(s) receives UL data communications from UEs, and relay the UL data communications to a serving network component (e.g., gNB) via a backhaul connection (wired or wireless). In an aspect, uplink relay(s) are selected by a network component for a position estimation session of a target UE. The uplink relay(s) measure UL SRS for positioning from the target UE, and report UL SRS measurement information to the network component and/or the serving network component.

Abstract: During a positioning session, a user equipment (UE) is provided with an early uplink grant to respond to a request for location service information from a location server. The location service information, for example, may be a request for positioning capabilities, a request for positioning measurements or a position estimate, and may be a request for a single, periodic or triggered location information. The early uplink grant may be requested by the UE prior to needing the uplink grant, e.g., before the positioning measurements have been completed. The location server may instigate the early uplink grant, e.g., at or near the same time that the location server sends the request for information to the UE. The early uplink grant may be used, e.g., during high priority or emergency related positioning sessions, in order to reduce delay in the UE providing a response to the request for location information.
