Abstract
A positioning reference assistance entity (PRAE) for providing positioning data to a network entity of a communication network having at least one transmission/reception point (TRP), the PRAE comprising: at least one sensor; at least one transceiver; at least one memory; and at least one processor, in signal communication with the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory, configured to: acquire physical sensory information, from the at least one sensor, of an environment in which the PRAE and the TRP are located; and transmit, via the at least one transceiver, the positioning data to the network entity based on the physical sensory information.

A positioning reference assistance entity (PRAE) for providing positioning data to a network entity of a communication network having at least one transmission/reception point (TRP), the PRAE comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- at least one transceiver;
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor, in signal communication with the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory, configured to:
- acquire physical sensory information, from the at least one sensor, of an environment in which the PRAE and the TRP are located, the physical sensory information including at least one of image data, acoustic data, and backscatter data;
- determine the positioning data based on the physical sensory information, the positioning data including information corresponding to at least one of a first position of a target in the environment and a second position of an object in the environment;
- and
- transmit, via the at least one transceiver, the positioning data to the network entity.
A method for providing positioning data to a network entity of a communication network having at least one transmission/reception point (TRP) utilizing a positioning reference assistance entity (PRAE), the method comprising:
- acquiring physical sensory information, with at least one sensor of the PRAE, of an environment in which the PRAE and the TRP are located, the physical sensory information including at least one of image data, acoustic data, and backscatter data;
- determining the positioning data based on the physical sensory information, the positioning data including information corresponding to at least one of a first position of a target in the environment and a second position of an object in the environment;
- and
- transmitting the positioning data from the PRAE to the network entity.
A positioning reference assistance entity (PRAE) for providing positioning data to a network entity of a communication network having at least one transmission/reception point (TRP), the PRAE comprising:
- means for acquiring physical sensory information, with at least one sensor of the PRAE, of an environment in which the PRAE and the TRP are located, the physical sensory information including at least one of image data, acoustic data, and backscatter data;
- means for determining the positioning data based on the physical sensory information, the positioning data including information corresponding to at least one of a first position of a target and a second position of an object in the environment;
- and
- means for transmitting the positioning data from the PRAE to the network entity.
A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to providing positioning data to a network entity of a communication network having a positioning reference assistance entity (PRAE) and at least one transmission/reception point (TRP), comprising:
- code for acquiring physical sensory information, from at least one sensor, of an environment in which the PRAE and the TRP are located, the physical sensory information including at least one of image data, acoustic data, and backscatter data;
- determine the positioning data based on the physical sensory information, the positioning data including information corresponding to at least one of a first position of a target and a second position of an object in the environment;
- and
- code for transmitting, via at least one transceiver, the positioning data to the network entity.
