Abstract
Methods and systems are configured for sending, from a network to an anchor user equipment (UE), a request for data describing a sidelink position reference signal (SL-PRS) transmission from a target UE to the anchor UE; and receiving, at the network from the anchor UE, measurement results data comprising a measurement of a beam that is transmitted from the target UE to the anchor UE in the SL-PRS, the measurement results specifying an angle of arrival (AoA) of the beam that is measured at the anchor UE.
Claims21
1-37. (canceled)
One or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in a memory, perform operations comprising:
- encoding for sending, from a network to an anchor user equipment (UE), a request for data describing a sidelink position reference signal (SL-PRS) transmission from a target UE to the anchor UE;
- and
- decoding, at the network from the anchor UE, measurement results data comprising a measurement of a beam that is transmitted from the target UE to the anchor UE in the SL-PRS, the measurement results data specifying an angle of arrival (AoA) of the beam that is measured at the anchor UE.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, perform operations comprising:
- decoding, at a target user equipment (UE) from an anchor UE, a beam comprising a sidelink position reference signal (SL-PRS) transmission;
- measuring, at the target UE, an angle of arrival (AoA) of the beam of the SL-PRS;
- and
- generating measurement results data specifying the AoA of the beam.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- encoding, from a network to an anchor user equipment (UE), a request for data describing a sidelink position reference signal (SL-PRS) transmission from a target UE to the anchor UE;
- and
- decoding, at the network from the target UE, measurement results data comprising a measurement of a beam that is transmitted from the anchor UE to the target UE in the SL-PRS, the measurement results data specifying an angle of arrival (AA) of the beam that is measured at the target UE.
