Abstract: Some wireless communication systems include one or more user equipments (UEs) and one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) nodes (e.g., satellites). In some approaches, a UE may collect report data, such as a minimization of drive test report or UE assistance information. When a NTN node operates in a store and forward mode, the NTN node may have intermittent connectivity with a core network. In some examples of the techniques described herein, a UE may store data collected when the NTN node is operating in the store and forward mode. The UE may transmit delayed report data based on the collected data to a core network when the UE has coverage from a terrestrial network node or a NTN node. For example, the UE may transmit UE location data collected when the NTN node is operating in the store and forward mode.

Abstract: A server may obtain wireless network coverage information from crowdsourcing devices, where the wireless network coverage information indicates characteristics of wireless network coverage at different locations along various routes of travel. The server may determine a wireless coverage map of an area based on the wireless network coverage information, where the wireless coverage map comprises, for locations along one or more routes of travel within the area, a respective wireless coverage indication indicative of a level of wireless coverage for wireless networks at the respective location. The server may send route-based coverage information to a mobile device for a particular route, where the route-based coverage information includes the respective wireless coverage indication, from the coverage map, for one or more locations along the particular route.

Abstract: During a positioning session between a user equipment (UE) and a location server, the location server may send the base station a request to suspend the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the UE. For example, the location server may send a request to the base station recommending suspension of the connection or may provide an indication of the amount of time during which position related messages between the UE and the location server are not expected. The base station may determine whether to suspend the connection with the UE, thereby placing the UE in an inactive state based on the information provided. The base station may further determine whether to suspend the connection based on data activity of the UE. While in an inactive state, the UE and base station store UE connection context, which may be used to quickly resume the connection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A second wireless device (such as a head-mounted display (HMD) device) may communicate with a first wireless device (such as a user equipment (UE)) via a tethered wireless connection. The tethered wireless connection may be associated with a first type of radio access technology (RAT). The first wireless device may obtain an indication of one or more access points (APs) associated with a second type of RAT. The first wireless device may transmit an indication of one or more candidate APs for a handover of the second wireless device from the first wireless device to maintain the connectivity between the second wireless device and a network. As such, the second wireless device may use the wireless characteristics to determine whether to handover to a candidate AP or maintain the tethered wireless connection with the first wireless device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for network organization. For instance, a process can include receiving, from a second sensing apparatus of the self-organizing network, an indication of a first task. The process can further include retrieving a first power profile associated with the first task, determining a current battery level of the at least one battery, predicting a future battery level of the at least one battery based on the current battery level, and the first power profile associated with the first task, and transmitting, to another sensing apparatus, the predicted future battery level.

Abstract: In some aspects, a server device associated with a physical location may receive a message from a user device associated with a user, the message identifying a target located at the physical location and the message including an indication of a current location of the user device within the physical location. The server device may transmit, responsive to the message, a model to the user device, the model configured to cause presentation of one or more augmented reality elements to guide the user through the physical location from the current location to the target. The server device may cause an electronic shelf label (ESL) associated with the target to activate an indicator. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first mobile device may communicate with a plurality of mobile devices to form a positioning group, where the communicating comprises exchanging positioning capability information with the plurality of mobile devices, and where the positioning group comprises: a leader device configured to determine an initial position estimate, a validator device configured to determine a validated position estimate, and one or more other devices different than the leader device and the validator device. The first mobile device may send an estimated position of the first mobile device to a monitoring device, where the estimated position of the first mobile device is based at least in part on the initial position estimate, the validated position estimate, or both.

Abstract: Techniques for verifying a user equipment (UE) location in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) are disclosed. In some embodiments, such techniques may involve receiving location data of the target UE; obtaining one or more locations of one or more other UEs that are within a sidelink communication range of the target UE; receiving sidelink measurements obtained by the one or more other UEs relative to the target UE or by the target UE obtained for the one or more other UEs; and verifying the location data of the target UE (e.g., a location of the target UE) based at least on the sidelink measurements and the one or more locations of the one or more other UEs. The location verification may ensure that the target UE only accesses an NTN that is allowed to serve the location of the target UE.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication, by a user equipment (UE), includes scanning a wireless network for a system information message containing inter-radio access technology (IRAT) frequency information for a non-terrestrial network. The method also includes displaying a non-terrestrial network icon on a user interface of the UE in response to receiving the system information message. The icon indicates non-terrestrial network coverage.

The imaging system outputs the at least one image frame of the scene.

Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), for example, during an emergency call, a civic location of the UE may be determined. For example, during a location session in a wireless network, a UE may detect a WiFi access point (AP) and obtain the civic location of the WiFi AP from the AP. The UE may provide the civic location to a location server in the wireless network, which may treat the civic location as the civic location of the UE. The location server may validate the civic location using a geodetic location, e.g., obtained based on measurements from a satellite positioning system and/or base stations in the wireless network. The location server may further verify that the UE is proximate to the WiFi AP using WiFi positioning measurements performed by the UE. The validated civic location can be provided to an external client, e.g. a PSAP.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) provides to a location server a recommendation or request for positioning technologies and methods that may be appropriate for the environment in which the UE is located. The UE may provide the recommendation or request may be a priority list of one or more specific positioning technologies, one or more specific methods of a positioning technology, a combination thereof. The UE based prioritization for positioning may be provided unsolicited or requested by the location server. The UE based prioritization for positioning may be provided as part of a message used in current positioning protocols, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP), e.g., by ranking information elements (IEs) associated with each positioning technology and method in the body of the message or as part of a common IE.
