  • Publication number: 20250112746
    Abstract: An energy harvesting transmitting wireless terminal for wirelessly communicating with a receiving wireless terminal is provided. The wireless terminal includes at least one processor that is configured to select a first Sidelink Position Reference Signal (SL-PRS) configuration from several SL-PRS configurations and determine whether the power required for transmitting the SL-PRS using the selected SL-PRS configuration satisfies a minimum receiving power threshold of the receiving wireless terminal. When the power does not satisfy the minimum receiving power threshold, the processor selects another SL-PRS configuration and repeats the determining and selecting until the power required for transmitting the SL-PRS using the selected SL-PRS configuration satisfies the minimum receiving power threshold or until the last SL-PRS configuration is not selected.
