Dynamic creation and management of spatial anchors

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform:
• requesting, from a network, initiation of a spatial anchor associated with a mobile object;
• receiving, from a user equipment, a request for a service utilising the object as a spatial anchor;
• requesting the network to update one or more properties of the spatial anchor based on the request for the service;
• receiving, from the network, an updated spatial anchor;
• and
• causing transmission of the updated spatial anchor to the user equipment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform:

• receiving, from a service provider, a request to initiate a spatial anchor associated with a mobile object;
• generating the spatial anchor associated with the mobile object based on the request to initiate;
• receiving, from the service provider or a user equipment, a request for retrieval of the spatial anchor associated with the mobile object;
• retrieving information identifying a location of the mobile object;
• updating, after the retrieving, the spatial anchor with the information identifying the location of the mobile object;
• and
• providing, after the updating, to the service provider or the user equipment, the spatial anchor.
