Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for UE positioning. In an example, a UE transmits a sounding reference signal for positioning (SRSp) to a base station. The SRSp transmission can use frequency hopping and can rely on a window and/or a collision rule associated with the entire frequency hopping sequence or only a frequency hop of such a sequence. The window and/or collision rule can reduce the potential for signal collision with non-SRSp signals. Further, the UE can implement a low power high accuracy position (LPHAP) technique. In this technique, a fallback behavior or an SRSp transmission can be stopped if the UE is not able to accurately measure “N” configured reference signals, where “N” can be based on the positioning method.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently transferring data between devices. In various embodiments, a host computing device receives parallel data, encodes the parallel data as a count of pulses as serial data, and conveys the serial data to a peripheral device. The peripheral device decodes the received serial data to determine the parallel data, which is sent to processing logic. The devices send the encoded pluses on a bidirectional line, so the pulses are capable of being sent in both directions. The devices send the encoded pulses on the bidirectional line using a non-zero base voltage level. The devices are capable of using a voltage headroom when conveying encoded pulses between one another. Therefore, a full voltage swing between a ground reference voltage level and a power supply voltage level is not used when conveying the encoded pulses, which reduces power consumption.
