Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for enhanced multipath component reporting in new radio. In an aspect, a requesting entity (RE) may determine that a measuring entity (ME) can perform multipath phase measurements. The RE may send, to the ME, a first request to perform at least one multipath phase measurement. The RE may receive, from the ME, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising results of the at least one multipath phase measurement. The RE may determine a position or sense an object based on the results of the at least one multipath phase measurement.

A method of wireless positioning or sensing performed by a requesting entity (RE), the method comprising:
- determining that a measuring entity (ME) can perform multipath phase measurements, wherein a multipath phase measurement comprises a measurement of phase for each path of a multipath signal;
- sending, to the ME, a first request to perform at least one multipath phase measurement;
- receiving, from the ME, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising results of the at least one multipath phase measurement;
- and
- determining a position or sensing an object based on the results of the at least one multipath phase measurement.
A method of wireless positioning or sensing performed by a measuring entity (ME), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a requesting entity (RE), a first request to perform at least one multipath phase measurement, wherein a multipath phase measurement comprises a measurement of phase for each path of a multipath signal;
- performing at least one multipath phase measurement;
- and
- sending, to the RE, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising results of the at least one multipath phase measurement.
A requesting entity (RE), comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- determine that a measuring entity (ME) can perform multipath phase measurements, wherein a multipath phase measurement comprises a measurement of phase for each path of a multipath signal;
- send, to the ME via the at least one transceiver, a first request to perform at least one multipath phase measurement;
- receive, from the ME via the at least one transceiver, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising results of the at least one multipath phase measurement;
- and
- determine a position or sensing an object based on the results of the at least one multipath phase measurement.
A measuring entity (ME), comprising:
- a memory;
