Abstract: In a sidelink positioning method, a target UE and/or one or more peer UEs may transmit and/or measure reference signals on a sidelink interface. The target UE may determine its own transmission configuration for such reference signals, potentially taking into account the measurement capabilities of one or more peer UEs. The target UE may request a transmission configuration for such reference signals from one or more peer UEs. The peer UEs may determine their own transmission configuration(s) for the reference signals, potentially taking into account any request received from the target UE and/or the measurement capabilities of the target UE. The capability information, reference signal configuration information, and measurement results may be exchanged among the UEs. Related positioning protocols may be carried over transport layers of the sidelink interface.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may retrieve, from an industry standard setting scoring system and for a vulnerability, a temporal score based on a pre-revision version of a scoring system, and predict, based on a machine learning model and based on the temporal score for the vulnerability, an updated temporal score based on a post-revision version of the scoring system. A mitigating factor score, indicative of a mitigation applied to the vulnerability by an enterprise organization, may be determined. A risk score may be generated for each vulnerability, as a composite of the updated temporal score and the mitigating factor score. The risk scores for vulnerabilities in a collection of vulnerabilities may be aggregated to determine an enterprise risk score for the enterprise organization. In some instances, the enterprise risk score may be displayed via a graphical user interface.

Abstract: When cell system information changes, a first terminal device receives, during on duration of the first terminal device, system information sent by a second terminal device, so that the first terminal device can receive the system information through a sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device without a need to maintain a cellular link, thereby reducing complexity and power consumption of system information transmission. Alternatively, when cell system information changes and a first terminal device has only one receive radio frequency chain, the first terminal device obtains system information within a gap period of communication between the second terminal device and the first terminal device through a link between the first terminal device and a network device, so that the first terminal device maintains a cellular link only within the gap period, thereby reducing complexity and power consumption of system information transmission to some extent.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a serving base station receives, from a UE, a measurement of a DL-RSTD with respect to a first TRP and a second TRP. The serving base station sends the DL-RSTD to a location management function, wherein the location management function further receives a first RTOA of an SRS arriving at the first TRP and a second RTOA of the SRS arriving at the second TRP. The serving base station receives, from the location management function, a relative time difference calculated based on the DL-RSTD, the first RTOA, and the second RTOA. The relative time difference indicates a synchronization error between the first TRP and the second TRP.

Abstract: An apparatus operated as a relay node in a wireless mesh network for route discovery comprises processing circuitry that receives, from a first neighbor node, a discovery request including a request for a route to a destination node. When the routing table of the first node contains routes to the destination node, the first node sends, to the first neighbor node, a discovery response including information about these routes. When the routing table of the first node does not contain a route to the destination node, the first node sends, to a second neighbor node, a discovery request for a route to the destination node. When the first node receives, from the second neighbor node, a discovery message including information of routes to a destination node. The first node transmits, to the first neighbor node, a discovery response including information of these routes.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for sidelink relay based data transmission with multiple paths. In one novel aspect, multiple transceiving paths is established between a source node and a destination, wherein at least one path includes a sidelink connection with a relay node. The sidelink relay adaptation protocol (SRAP) layer or the PDCP layer of the source node performs data split or data duplication for egress data packets before delivering the egress data to multiple corresponding RLC entities. The source node aggregates ingress data packets received from the multiple transceiving paths at the source node. In one embodiment, one transceiving path among the multiple transceiving paths is selected as a primary path. In one embodiment, the source node performs data split or data duplication at the SRAP layer per packet or per RB. In another embodiment, the source node performs data split or data duplication based on a preconfigured threshold.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus operated as a relay node in a wireless mesh network for packet routing. The apparatus comprises processing circuitry that receives a packet including indications of a source node and a destination node. When the relay node is not the destination node, the processing circuitry determines whether the packet includes a path ID identifying a delivery route for the packet. When the packet includes the path ID and a routing table of the relay node includes a first next-hop node associated with the path ID, the processing circuitry transmits the packet to the first next-hop node. When the packet does not include the path ID or the routing table does not include the first next-hop node, the processing circuitry transmits the packet to one of a second next-hop node associated with the destination node and a third next-hop node associated with an intermediate destination node.
