Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are provided for utilizing a sidelink discovery interface to determine a location of a user equipment (UE). An example method for determining a location of a mobile device according to the disclosure includes receiving one or more reference signals transmitted via a first radio access technology, determining measurement values for the one or more reference signals, receiving a discovery signal from a station via a second radio access technology that is different from the first radio access technology, wherein the discovery signal includes and identification value associated with the station, and obtaining the location based at least in part on the measurement values and the discovery signal.
