  • Publication number: 20250226942
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a network entity may determine that a positioning reference signal (PRS) processing load for a UE exceeds a PRS processing capacity of the UE. The network entity may send, to the UE, assistance data that reduces the PRS processing load for the UE. In another aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine, based on information received from a network entity, that one or more PRS measurements is associated with a low-latency location request. The UE may modify one or more parameters associated with the one or more PRS measurements to reduce measurement latency. The UE may perform the one or more PRS measurements associated with the low-latency location request according to the modified one or more parameters.

  • Publication number: 20250203563
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a request to measure resources associated with a positioning frequency layer (PFL), the resources including first processing window (PPW) resources within the first PRS processing window (PPW) and second PRS resources within a second PPW. The UE measures the first PRS resources, the second PRS resources, or both, based on one or more PPW selection parameters. In another aspect, a UE determines whether processing of measurements of first resources, second resources, and third resources associated with respective measurement windows (e.g., PPW(s), measurement gap(s), etc.) exceeds a processing capability of the UE. The UE processes the measurements based on the processing capability determination.

  • Publication number: 20250159627
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a synchronization signal block (SSB). The UE may perform a measurement of the SSB during a measurement window for an unlicensed spectrum, wherein the measurement window is an extended measurement window as compared to a scheduled measurement window for a licensed carrier. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the measurement of the SSB during the measurement window, a configured grant small data transmission (CG-SDT) in the unlicensed spectrum to the network entity, wherein the CG-SDT is based at least in part on a timing alignment validation after the measurement window. Numerous other aspects are described.

In another aspect, a network entity may receive one or more parameters associated with a capability of a UE to measure and process DL PRSs while the UE is in a RRC INACTIVE state. Based on those parameters, the network entity may determine a DL PRS measurement period to be used by the UE while the UE is in the RRC INACTIVE state.
