Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods of use thereof for magnetic separation. For example, disclosed herein is a device for separation of a mixture comprising a magnetic solid and a non-magnetic solid. The device comprises a separation chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end; the proximal end defining an inlet; the distal end defining a first outlet and a second outlet. The separation chamber having a region that is configured to subject the fluid flowing through said region to a magnetic field to thereby separate the mixture into a first portion and a second portion; the first portion being enriched with the non-magnetic solid relative to the second separated portion; and the second portion being enriched with the magnetic solid relative to the first separated portion.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enhance the accuracy and/or latency of UE positioning based on crowd-sourcing, where a network entity may compute a position estimate of a UE based on neighbor-cell scan data from the UE and one or more reference UEs. In one aspect, a network entity receives a first set of measurements associated with at least one cell from a UE. The network entity performs a position estimation of the UE based on at least one of the first set of measurements associated with the at least one cell, a second set of measurements for each of a set of reference UEs, or a location of each of the set of reference UEs via an ML model, where the UE and the set of reference UEs include at least one common cell.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining a UE position within a coverage sub-area of a cell based on cell identity data are presented. In some embodiments, the UE detects one more cell identities, including a cell identity of a serving cell and possibly a cell identity of a neighbor cell of the serving cell. The one or more cell identities are included in cell identity data. The cell identity data is used in a look up of a data structure that associates coverage sub-areas of a coverage area of the serving cell with most likely positions within the coverage sub-areas and with cell identities. The result of the look up indicates that the UE is positioned at a most likely position within a coverage sub-area of the serving cell.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a device or a server. The apparatus may detect a set of cells associated with a network node, where each of the set of cells includes a cell ID, where the cell ID for each of the set of cells is associated with a node ID for the network node. The apparatus may also identify a location of each of the set of cells based on the cell ID for each of the set of cells. Additionally, the apparatus may estimate an average location of the set of cells based on the location of each of the set of cells. The apparatus may also calculate a location of the network node based on the average location of the set of cells.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining a UE position within a coverage sub-area of a cell based on cell identity data are presented. In some embodiments, the UE detects one more cell identities, including a cell identity of a serving cell and possibly a cell identity of a neighbor cell of the serving cell.

The cell identity data is used in a look up of a data structure that associates coverage sub-areas of a coverage area of the serving cell with most likely positions within the coverage sub-areas and with cell identities. The result of the look up indicates that the UE is positioned at a most likely position within a coverage sub-area of the serving cell.
