Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method (1100) performed by a first wireless device (110) comprises determining (1112) to perform a ranging procedure with respect to a second wireless device (110); transmitting (1118) a reference signal using uplink timing advance, TA, information; and receiving (1120) a ranging report from a location function (110, 160). The ranging report is based at least upon the TA information used for transmitting the reference signal and a measurement of the transmitted reference signal by the second wireless device (110).

Abstract: Systems and methods for relocating network nodes are provided herein. A network node can determine that relocation of at least one access node in the access network is required. An access node, such an IAB node with mobile capabilities, can be selected to be relocated from a first position to a second position. Relocation messages and parameters can be signaled between the network and the access node.

Abstract: There is disclosed a transmitting node for a Radio Access Network, the transmitting node being adapted for transmitting, based on one or more transmission parameters, of reference signaling, and/or signaling including reference signaling, wherein the reference signaling may comprise phase tracking reference signaling and wherein the one or more transmission parameters comprise a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS).

Abstract: A method performed in a wireless communication system for positioning a wireless device (140) connected to a respective operator network (110, 120, 160), assisted in part by a vehicle (101, 170, 190), the method comprising receiving a request for the vehicle (101, 170, 190) to approach the wireless device (140) associating the vehicle (101, 170, 190) with the operator network (110, 120, 160) triggering a network positioning procedure involving the wireless device (140) and the operator network (110, 120, 160), where the positioning procedure is at least based on communication of a positioning signal (171, 191) between the vehicle (101, 170, 190) and the wireless device (140), and on communication of respective positioning signals (111, 121) between one or more fixed access points (110, 120, 310) of the operator network and the wireless device (140), and determining a position of the wireless device (140) based on one or more measurements of the positioning signals (111, 121, 171, 191).

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring groupings of wireless devices and performing positioning and/or ranging between the grouped devices. Several wireless devices can be grouped together according to location, capabilities and/or measurements. A master node can be assigned to perform initiate a sidelink ranging procedure for the group. The master node can transmit ranging request(s) and receive ranging response(s) to calculate a range for one or more wireless devices in the group.
