  • Patent number: 12363554
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may receive a first beamformed transmission associated with a directional beam from another UE. The UE may measure a main lobe or at least one side lobe associated with the directional beam, and determine a level of interference at the UE based on the measuring. One or more of the main lobe or the at least one side lobe associated with the directional beam may cause interference to a second beamformed transmission associated with another directional beam from a base station. The UE may transmit a beam report including an indication of the main lobe or the at least one side lobe associated with the directional beam causing the interference to the second beamformed transmission associated with the other directional beam from the base station.

  • Patent number: 12361673
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to identify whether images captured by the camera(s) of the UE are spoofed (e.g., are real images or false/manipulated/virtual images, etc.). In one aspect, a UE obtains a set of images associated with a vision-aided positioning session, where the set of images is captured using at least one first camera. The UE detects that at least one spoofing feature is present in the set of images during the vision-aided positioning session. The UE stores or outputs an indication of the at least one spoofing feature based on the at least one spoofing feature being present in the set of images. The UE performs the camera-aided positioning session based on at least one non-spoofing feature, where the at least one non-spoofing feature is different from the at least one spoofing feature.
