Abstract
The present disclosure is related to user equipment (UE) behaviors and requirements for sidelink positioning. A target UE receives a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) request to measure and report sidelink (SL) positioning measurements. The target UE measures a set of SL positioning reference signals (PRSs) based on the received request, and transmits a measurement report. The measurement report includes positioning results based on the measurement of the set of SL PRSs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

1-45. (canceled)
A User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a 5G NR network, the UE comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and memory,
- the UE capable of sidelink (SL) operation and performing SL positioning measurements,
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- receive a request message via a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) to measure and report results of SL positioning measurements based on SL positioning reference signals (SL-PRS);
- wherein the SL positioning measurements include one or more of:
- a SL Reference Signal Time Difference (SL RSTD) measurement,
- a SL Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) Reference Signal Received Power (SL PRS RSRP) measurement,
- a SL Receive-Transmit (Rx-Tx) time difference (SL Rx-Tx) measurement,
- a SL PRS Reference Signal Received Path Power (SL PRS RSRPP) measurement,
- a SL Angle of Arrival (AoA) (SL AoA) measurement, and
- a SL Relative Time Of Arrival (SL RTOA) measurement,
- measure the SL-PRS based on the request;
- and
- transmit a measurement report that includes the results of the SL positioning measurements performed on the SL PRS.
An apparatus of a User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a 5G NR network, the UE capable of sidelink (SL) operation and performing SL positioning measurements, the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- receive a request message via a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) to measure and report results of SL positioning measurements based on SL positioning reference signals (SL-PRS);
- measure the SL-PRS based on the request;
- and
- transmit a measurement report that includes the results of the SL positioning measurements performed on the SL-PRS,
- wherein for performing SL time difference of arrival (TDoA) positioning, the processing circuitry is to configure the UE to perform a SL Reference Signal Time Difference (SL RSTD) measurement for each SL-PRS resource according to accuracy requirements and during a measurement period, and
- wherein the SL RSTD measurement includes measurement of a first SL-PRS from reference UE and a measurement of a second SL-PRS from an anchor UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a 5G NR network, the UE capable of sidelink (SL) operation and performing SL positioning measurements, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
- receive a request message via a sidelink positioning protocol (SLPP) to measure and report results of SL positioning measurements based on SL positioning reference signals (SL-PRS);
- measure the SL-PRS based on the request;
- and
- transmit a measurement report that includes the results of the SL positioning measurements performed on the SL-PRS,
- wherein for performing SL time difference of arrival (TDoA) positioning, the processing circuitry is to configure the UE to perform a SL Reference Signal Time Difference (SL RSTD) measurement for each SL-PRS resource according to accuracy requirements and during a measurement period, and
- wherein the SL RSTD measurement includes measurement of a first SL-PRS from reference UE and a measurement of a second SL-PRS from an anchor UE.
