Abstract: The disclosure herein describes enabling menuless operations using spatially aware tags with virtual geo-fenced boundaries. A tag manager implemented on a processor obtains movement data associated with an ultrawide band (UWB) enabled initiator device within a selected geo-fenced zone. The movement data is generated by one or more UWB enabled responder(s) within the selected geo-fenced zone. The movement data includes data describing 3D movements of the initiator device within the selected geo-fenced zone. A tag manager identifies a sequence of 3D movements of the initiator device using the movement data. The tag manager maps the sequence of 3D movements to zone-specific and/or user-specific action(s) using a menuless operations mapping table. The tag manager triggers a target computing device within the selected geo-fenced zone to perform the matched action(s). The target computing device can include an internet of things (IoT) device, a computing device, or the initiator device itself.

Abstract: Sidelink positioning of a plurality of UEs may be performed using a sidelink (SL) positioning protocol (SLPP) in either a session mode or a sessionless mode. In the session mode, one UE in the plurality of UEs may discover the other UEs, determine a session for SLPP, indicate the session to the other UEs, and exchange a plurality of SLPP messages with the other UEs, where the SLPP messages are part of the session and enable the sidelink positioning. In the sessionless mode, a UE may not discover some or all other UEs in the plurality of UEs and may exchange a plurality of SLPP messages with the other UEs, where the SLPP messages are not part of a session but enable the sidelink positioning. The two modes may each apply to SL positioning using SL PRS signals as well as WiFi, UWB and GNSS signals.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a network entity to flexibly configure a paging allocation scheme for communicating during one or more paging occasions (POs). The network entity may configure a paging allocation scheme such that POs occur during contiguous radio frames during a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the network entity may indicate, to one or more UEs, a set of paging parameters as well as an indication of whether the UEs are to monitor for POs according to a first paging allocation scheme or a second paging allocation scheme, where the first paging allocation scheme may distribute paging occasions across non-contiguous radio frames of the DRX cycle and the second paging allocation scheme may condense the paging occasions into contiguous radio frames of the DRX cycle.
