Abstract: Embodiments provide for enhanced procedures for a Mobile Originated Location Request (MO-LR), Mobile Terminated Location Request (MT-LR) and periodic or triggered MT-LR that may be used to enable sidelink positioning and ranging location results to be obtained for a group of two or more UEs with assistance from an LMF and to be provided to the group of UEs (MO-LR) or to an LCS Client or AF (MT-LR or periodic or triggered MT-LR). The enhancements allow the LMF to interact with just one UE of the group of UEs and for an LCS Client or AF to indicate a preference for the one UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a location server receives, from a network entity serving a reference device, a registration request for the reference device to operate as a reference location device (RLD), the registration request including one or more parameters enabling the location server to communicate with the reference device via a positioning protocol, instigates a positioning procedure with the reference device via the positioning protocol based on the one or more parameters; receives one or more reference positioning measurements from the reference device during the positioning procedure via the positioning protocol; and determines one or more correction terms for positioning one or more user equipments (UEs) based, at least in part, on a location of the reference device and the one or more reference positioning measurements.

Abstract: The positioning capabilities of a User Equipment (UE) are stored in a core network to reduce positioning latency when the UE indicates that its positioning capabilities are stable and/or are long term valid. The UE may provide its positioning capabilities to a location server during a location session along with an indication of whether the positioning capabilities are stable. The location server may enable storage of the positioning capabilities for the UE in the core network, e.g., in the location server or another entity in the core network such as Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), if there is an indication that the positioning capabilities are stable. The AMF may include a UE identifier in location requests with which the location server may retrieve the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the location server or may include the UE positioning capabilities if stored at the AMF.

Abstract: A system and method for distributed erasure coding. A plurality of storage devices is directly connected to one or more host computers, without an intervening central controller distributing data to the storage devices and providing data protection. Parity codes are stored in one or more dedicated storage devices or distributed over a plurality of the storage devices. When a storage device receives a write command, it calculates a partial parity code, and, if the parity code for the data being written is on another storage device, sends the partial parity code to the other storage device, which updates the parity code using the partial parity code.
