Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) in which the UE evaluate available positioning methods based on one or more criteria to determine a prioritized positioning method and provides an indication of the prioritized positioning method to a location server. The UE may additionally provide an indication of the criteria upon which the prioritized positioning method was determined. The UE may send the indication of the prioritized positioning method before the UE performs the positioning measurements and the location server may accept or reject the prioritized positioning method. The UE may alternatively send the indication of the prioritized positioning method and the criteria used in the priority determination after the UE performs the positioning measurements. The location server may use the prioritized positioning method and the criteria used in the priority determination, e.g., in subsequent positioning requests for the UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) uses conditional reconfiguration during positioning to improve the positioning performance. The UE receives conditional reconfiguration information from a serving base station, which includes a list one or more candidate target base stations and their associated resources for handover.

The UE, for example, may select a candidate target base station for handover during the positioning session to minimize the number of measurements gaps that are required for positioning measurements, or to increase bandwidth or minimize self-interference. Where timing advance measurements are requested, the UE may select a candidate target base station based on sub-carrier spacing to improve measurement resolution.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE), such as a vehicular UE, may perform proactive beam management in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications system. In some cases, road conditions may affect V2X connectivity for the V-UE. For example, if the V-UE is using a narrow beam and approaches a road with a steep gradient, the narrow beam may be unable to detect other V-UEs, which could lead to connection loss. Instead, the V-UE may proactively perform beam management or beam refinement to adjust the beam and maintain connectivity. For example, the V-UE may select a wider beam which has greater coverage, or the V-UE may update a direction of the narrow beam to maintain connection with neighboring V-UEs. The V-UE may use onboard sensor and computer vision-based techniques to detect changes to road conditions or its trajectory.

The UE is also configured to receive a signal, scheduled using discontinuous reception (DRX), and associated with a non-default data subscription using at least one of the antennas used by the DDS. The UE determines based on carrier characteristics which resource is used to receive the signal during a DRX cycle. In some aspects, the decision is based on avoiding a conflict between the SRS switching and DRX reception. In further aspects, the decision is based on selecting the carrier contributing least to downlink throughput.
