Abstract: Methods and apparatus for configuring a reference signal are provided. The method includes that: a first terminal receives first information, the first information including configuration information of a first reference signal, and the first reference signal being a reference signal for sidelink positioning.

Abstract: A first-order differential microphone array (FODMA) with a steerable beamformer is constructed by specifying a target beampattern for the FODMA at a steering angle ? and then decomposing the target beampattern into a first sub-beampattern and a second sub-beampattern based on the steering angle ?. A first sub-beamformer and a second sub-beamformer are generated to each filter signals from microphones of the FODMA, wherein the first sub-beamformer is associated with the first sub-beampattern, and the second sub-beamformer is associated with the second sub-beampattern. The steerable beamformer is then generated based on the first sub-beamformer and the second sub-beamformer. The decomposing of the target beampattern into a first sub-beampattern and a second sub-beampattern includes dividing the target beampattern into a sum of a first-order cosine (cardioid) first sub-beampattern and a first-order sinusoidal (dipole) second sub-beampattern.
