Abstract: A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) is disclosed and includes determining a position of the UE based on a first positioning synchronization source; pre-configuring a first sidelink coordination group for use by the UE prior to an occurrence of one or more first triggering events, wherein the first sidelink coordination group uses a second positioning synchronization source that is different than the first positioning synchronization source; and in response to a determination that the one or more first triggering events has occurred, transitioning to use of the first sidelink coordination group for determining the position of the UE.

Abstract: A mobile device supports positioning with positioning reference signals (PRS) on multiple beam by dividing the PRS processing into two separate modes, an acquisition mode and a tracking mode. In acquisition mode, the mobile device performs a fast scan of all of the beams from a base station transmitting PRS using less than the full set of resources for the PRS, i.e., less than the full bandwidth and/or less than the full number of repetitions of the PRS. The mobile device may select the best beams to use for positioning, e.g., based on signal strength metric. In tracking mode, the mobile device tracks the PRS from only the selected beams using the full set of resources for the PRS. The mobile device may return to acquisition mode after a predetermined number of positioning occasions or if the selected beams are no longer valid due to movement or change in conditions.

Abstract: A mobile device and base station are enabled to support improved positioning accuracy in the presence of phase noise in high frequency radio network, such as in 5G New Radio network operating in mmWave. Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) may be transmitted with Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) and used for positioning and/or used to correct the phase offset between symbols in the PRS. A request may be made to transmit PTRS alone or with the PRS, or that the PRS is transmitted with a specific PRS frame structure, e.g., with a specific comb value, that minimizes the impact of phase noise. The PTRS or a phase ramp of the staggered symbols in the PRS may be used to estimate and correct the phase offset. Less than all of the symbols transmitted in the PRS may be used to generate positioning measurements to minimize the impact of phase noise.

The UE may transmit the positioning discovery transmission beams, then receive, from at least one other UE, feedback related to at least one of the positioning discovery transmission beams, and, based on that feedback, determine a subset of the positioning measurement transmission beams to be used for performing positioning measurements. The UE may perform the positioning measurements using the subset of the positioning measurement transmission beams.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for the usage of exceptional resource pool for positioning (RP-P) when a UE transmits or receives RF signals for positioning via sidelink. The UE can determine whether one or more conditions have been met for using the exceptional RP-P during a positioning session, then transmit or receive the one or more reference signals accordingly. Various conditions may be established for using the exceptional RP-P, including radio link failure, high-priority/emergency conditions, a number of anchor UEs in non-exceptional RP-P being below a threshold, a number of anchor UEs in the exceptional RP-P being above the threshold, and others. The exceptional RP-P may be provided to the UE via an exceptional RP-P configuration from a base station, location server, or another UE.

Abstract: Positioning measurements to determine the location of a user equipment (UE) may be obtained within a configured time window, such as a measurement time window or positioning reference signal (PRS) processing window. If one or more position measurements cannot be obtained within the configured window, the measuring entity may provide an error report to the positioning entity indicating that it was unable to obtain one or more positioning measurements within the configured time window. The error message may be provided in the provide location information report. The error message may include the timing of the error within the configured time window, e.g., whether the error occurred at the beginning or end of the configured time window. The error message may further indicate the cause of the error, such as failure to receive a PRS processing window, or that the PRS had low priority relative to downlink signals or channels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for peer-to-peer video streaming from an edge data storage device to a browser are described. A surveillance video camera may establish a secure peer-to-peer connection using a first data transfer protocol with a user device. Once the secure peer-to-peer connection is established with the user device, out of band key exchange may occur through the peer-to-peer connection. Then, a shared key may be generated at both the video camera and the user device such that a request for media from the user device may be sent to a relay server over a second data transfer protocol. The video camera may then send an encrypted data file responsive to the media request over the second data transfer protocol to the relay server.

Abstract: Positioning for user equipments (UEs) in a wireless network is supported by restricting position reference signal (PRS) configuration parameters for a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) based on PRS configuration used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted by restricting orthogonality of the PRS resources with respect to PRS resources from co-located TRPs to only code division multiplexing, and other types of orthogonality such as time division multiplexing and frequency divisional multiplexing are not permitted for co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted to the same muting sequence type, e.g., inter-instance and/or intra-instance muting, as used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters, e.g., related to orthogonality and/or muting, are not restricted with respect to non-co-located TRPs.
