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. During a positioning session, the UE receives assistance data and determines a target base station for handover based on the list of candidate target base stations and the assistance data. 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: Sharing of frequency generator settings in a network are disclosed. In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), a first frequency setting for a frequency generator of a UE. The first frequency setting is associated with a first frequency. The method includes modifying the first frequency setting to generate a second frequency setting for the frequency generator. The second frequency setting is associated with a second frequency that is different from the first frequency. The method also includes generating a message that indicates the second frequency setting. The method further includes transmitting the message from the UE to a base station.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that the UE is operating using a first subscriber identity module (SIM) in a non-standalone mode associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, and that a second SIM has been activated for the UE. The UE may determine, based at least in part on user input, whether to operate in a multi-SIM mode, where both the first SIM and the second SIM are active, or to operate in a single SIM mode where only the first SIM, and not the second SIM, is active. The UE may selectively deactivate the second SIM based at least in part on determining whether to operate in the multi-SIM mode or the single SIM mode. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: In a wireless network in which beams are transmitted by base stations, a beam relation database may be produced by crowdsourcing known positions of UEs and associated information related to beams received by the UEs at these positions. The beam information, for example, may include a beam identifier and cell identifier, and may further include measured signal parameters, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). The beam relation database may be used by a network or the UE to determine a position of a UE based on beams that are detected by the UE. The position fix may be an initial position fix that may be used to generate assistance data for the UE. Additionally, the beam relation database may be used to identify relevant measurement objects in the assistance data based on beams that are detected by the UE.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for coordinating vehicle platooning with V2X assistance. The techniques generally include: a first vehicle associated with a source UE transmitting a request to a base station to join a vehicle platoon. The request indicates at least one of: an occupancy parameter of a first vehicle associated with the source UE; an autonomy level of the first vehicle; or a travel preference parameter. The occupancy parameter may include a number of passengers, seating positions of passengers, and other occupancy information pertaining safety and prioritization. The autonomy level enables vehicles of similar autonomy to form a platoon that optimizes headways, thus minimizing fuel consumption due to air resistance. The travel preference parameter may include a preferred speed of the source UE. The source UE may receive a response message indicating confirmation that the first vehicle is allowed to join the vehicle platoon.
