Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be an eNB. The apparatus may be configured to receive a first message from a UE. The first message may include at least one of a first request to participate in D2D positioning or a second request to participate in D2D ranging. The apparatus may be configured to determine at least one of whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D positioning or whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D ranging based on the received first message. The apparatus may be configured to transmit a second message to the UE based on the determination.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication by a base station, comprising:
- receiving a first message from a user equipment (UE), the first message comprising at least one of a first request to participate in device-to-device (D2D) positioning or a second request to participate in D2D ranging;
- determining at least one of whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D positioning or whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D ranging based on the received first message;
- and
- transmitting a second message to the UE based on the determination.
A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting a first message that comprises at least one of a first request to participate in device-to-device (D2D) positioning within a first set of resources for D2D positioning or a second request to participate in D2D ranging within a second set of resources for D2D ranging;
- receiving a second message, based on the transmitted first message, indicating at least one of whether the UE is allowed to participate in D2D positioning or whether the UE is allowed to participate in D2D ranging;
- and
- performing at least one of a D2D positioning or a D2D ranging based on the received second message.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive a first message from a user equipment (UE), the first message comprising at least one of a first request to participate in device-to-device (D2D) positioning or a second request to participate in D2D ranging;
- determine at least one of whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D positioning or whether to allow the UE to participate in D2D ranging based on the received first message;
- and
- transmit a second message to the UE based on the determination.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), and comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- transmit a first message that comprises at least one of a first request to participate in device-to-device (D2D) positioning within a first set of resources for D2D positioning or a second request to participate in D2D ranging within a second set of resources for D2D ranging;
- receive a second message, based on the transmitted first message, indicating at least one of whether the UE is allowed to participate in D2D positioning or whether the UE is allowed to participate in D2D ranging;
- and
- perform at least one of a D2D positioning or a D2D ranging based on the received second message.
