Electronic device and method for wireless communication system, and storage medium

An electronic device for a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a processing circuitry configured to:
• receive first control information from a first electronic device, wherein the first control information at least comprises information indicating a communication range threshold of the first electronic device,
• determine one or more positioning reference signals transmitted by the first electronic device based on the first control information,
• estimate a distance between the first electronic device and the electronic device based on the one or more PRSs, and
• compare the communication range threshold with the estimated distance, and determine whether to transmit a retransmission request to the first electronic device in response to failing to decode a data packet transmitted by the first electronic device, based on the comparison result.
