Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting remaining battery voltage or capacity in an infusion device and generating alarms based on the detection. A battery lifetime extension method includes providing an infusion device that derives its power from a rechargeable battery. The infusion device may derive its power from a rechargeable battery. Furthermore, the infusion device receives, at predetermined intervals of time in real-time sensor data comprising a voltage, a change in the voltage over the predetermined interval of time, an average current, a temperature, and a remaining voltage or capacity reported by a battery gas gauge integrated circuit (“IC”) associated with the rechargeable battery. A customized neural network model utilizes the sensor data to determine an indicia of the actual remaining voltage or capacity of the rechargeable battery in real-time. The indicia may be used to lengthen and/or abate ongoing medical infusion therapy.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for sidelink positioning. In an aspect, an initiator user equipment (UE) transmits a first request to create a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) session to each recipient UE among a set of one or more recipient UEs, and receives first responses from the set of one or more recipient UEs that each indicate an acceptance or rejection of the SLPP session by the recipient. A group of one or more UEs for participation in the SLPP session is determined by the initiator UE from among recipient UEs from which a respective first response that indicates the acceptance of the SLPP session is received. In another aspect, a UE transmitting an SLPP message may indicate a first casting mode (e.g., unicast, groupcast, broadcast, etc.) of the SLPP message and may optionally indicate a second casting mode (e.g., unicast, groupcast, broadcast, etc.) for response(s) to the SLPP message.

Abstract: An entity in a wireless network is configured to increase transmission of a positioning reference signal (PRS) at each of a plurality of transmitters, where the increase in transmission of PRS at each of the plurality of transmitters is coordinated to avoid interference to or from non-PRS transmission in the wireless network. The increase in the transmission of PRS may be performed by a server, such as a location management function (LMF) or location management component (LMC), a base station, such as a gNB, ng-eNB, or eNB, or by a combination of the server and base station. The entity may determine the increase in transmission of the PRS in response to location requests for a plurality of user equipments (UEs), notification reports from a plurality of base stations, or requests for increased PRS from a plurality of UEs.

Abstract: A position of a user equipment (UE) may be determined using downlink based solutions (e.g. OTDOA), uplink based solutions (e.g. UTDOA), or combined downlink and uplink based solutions (e.g. RTT). The serving gNBs may request neighboring gNBs to produce downlink reference signal transmissions to a target UE and/or measure uplink reference signal transmissions from the target UE. The serving gNB may receive the uplink reference signal measurements from neighboring gNBs and obtain an own uplink reference signal measurement and forward to the UE or another network entity all the uplink reference signal measurements. The UE may use the uplink reference signal measurements, along with the UE's own downlink reference signal measurements to determine RTTs. The serving gNBs or another entity may keep the uplink reference signal measurements and may determine RTTs after receiving the downlink reference signal measurements from the UE.
