Abstract: A method of requesting a reference signal includes sending, from a user equipment, a first on-demand reference signal (RS) request for an RS in response to a first positioning request; obtaining, at the user equipment, a first timer value indicative of a first threshold amount of time; sending, from the user equipment, a second on-demand RS request in response to either: the first threshold amount of time passing after sending the first on-demand RS request without at least one of receiving the RS at the user equipment or decoding an RS configuration message at the user equipment or receiving, at the user equipment, a second positioning request, having a higher priority than the first positioning request, before passage of the first threshold amount of time after sending the first on-demand RS request.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives scheduling information for Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) for positioning that includes multiple reserved occasions to transmit the SRS. The multiple reserved occasions may be used on all or on only a subset of configured SRS resources. The UE transmits the positioning SRS on a reserved occasion that is first available for transmission, e.g., without collision or other restrictions of transmission of the SRS. The UE does not transmit the positioning SRS on any earlier reserved occasions that is not available or any subsequent reserved occasions. The base station may attempt to decode the SRS on each reserved occasion until the positioning SRS is transmitted. The base station may reassign unused reserved occasions to other UEs or to other channels. The base station may report positioning measurements with associated time stamps for the reserved occasion on which the positioning SRS was received.

Abstract: Positioning assistance data (PAD) is encoded in positioning System Information Blocks (posSIBs) and periodically broadcast by abase station in a differential manner A PAD element that is different relative to previously broadcast PAD is encoded in a block of posSIB separately from PAD that is unchanged. Another separate block of posSIB includes reference encoding identifying the changed PAD and provides scheduling information. A UE may decode the reference encoding and determine whether the UE has previously decoded the changed PAD. If the UE has previously received the PAD, but has not yet received the new or changed PAD, the UE may receive and decode the block of posSIB with only the changed PAD, thereby increasing efficiency.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing fast reroute for traffic in EVPN-VXLAN. For example, a backup PE device of an Ethernet segment is configured with an additional tunnel endpoint address (“reroute tunnel endpoint address”) for a backup path associated with a second split-horizon group that is different than a tunnel endpoint address and first split-horizon group for another path used for normal traffic forwarding. The backup PE device sends the reroute tunnel endpoint address to a primary PE device of the Ethernet segment, which uses the reroute tunnel endpoint address to configure a backup path to the backup PE device over the core network. For example, the primary PE device may install the reroute tunnel endpoint address within its forwarding plane and one or more operations to cause the primary PE device to encapsulate a VXLAN header including the reroute tunnel endpoint address when rerouting the packet along the backup path.
