  • Publication number: 20260039432
    Abstract: Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for near-field (NF) region detection. It may be beneficial if a wireless transmit-receive unit (WTRU) and the network are aware of whether the WTRU is within a NF region or not. A WTRU may be configured with a primary (P-RS) and a secondary (S-RS) set of resources. The WTRU performs measurements on each pair of associated RS resources selected from the P-RS and S-RS resource sets. Based on measurement results, the WTRU selects one or more RS groups that include a S-RS and an associated P-RS, and determines whether a pre-defined measurement condition is fulfilled. Based on the determined state for the selected RS groups, the WTRU determines to report an NF detection to the network, such as to enable location division multiple access and beam focusing which may enable enhanced spectrum efficiency.
