==RESOURCE SELECTION AND PRIORITIZATION OF SIDELINK POSITIONING OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874147 titled 'RESOURCE SELECTION AND PRIORITIZATION OF SIDELINK POSITIONING OPERATIONS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for positioning user equipments (UEs) using Sidelink (SL) technology. This is achieved by assigning priority values to SL positioning operations, such as the transmission or reception of SL positioning reference signals (PRS). The priority value can be pre-configured or provided from higher layers to the physical (PHY) layer. The UE selects resources for SL positioning operations based on the priority value and may reserve these resources using Layer 1 (L1) and/or Layer 2 (L2) control operations or by transmitting an indication to other UEs to avoid using the resources. The priority values help resolve conflicts between SL positioning operations and other sidelink or non-sidelink operations within the device.

* The patent application proposes assigning priority values to SL positioning operations to support UE positioning using Sidelink technology.
* The priority values can be pre-configured or provided from higher layers to the physical layer.
* UEs select resources for SL positioning operations based on the assigned priority value.
* UEs can reserve resources for SL positioning operations using L1 and/or L2 control operations or by indicating to other UEs to avoid using the resources.
* The priority values help resolve conflicts between SL positioning operations and other sidelink or non-sidelink operations within the device.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Improved positioning accuracy for UEs using Sidelink technology.
* Enhanced coordination and resource allocation for SL positioning operations.
* Support for location-based services and applications that rely on accurate UE positioning.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Resolving conflicts between SL positioning operations and other sidelink or non-sidelink operations within the device.
* Efficient resource allocation for SL positioning operations.
* Ensuring reliable and accurate UE positioning using Sidelink technology.

Benefits of this technology:
* Improved positioning accuracy for UEs, enabling better location-based services and applications.
* Enhanced coordination and resource allocation, leading to more efficient use of network resources.
* Reduced conflicts and interference between SL positioning operations and other operations within the device, improving overall system performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Sidelink (SL) positioning of user equipments (UEs) is supported by assigning priority values to SL positioning operations, e.g., transmission or reception of SL positioning reference signals (PRS). The priority value, for example, may be (pre-)configured or provided to the physical (PHY) layer from higher layers. The UE selects resources for the SL positioning operations based on at least the priority value. The UE may reserve resources for the SL positioning operations, for example, using Layer 1 (L1) and/or Layer 2 (L2) control operations or by transmitting an indication that other UEs are to avoid using the resources. The priority values for the SL positioning operations may be used to resolve in-device conflicts, such as when the SL positioning operations conflict with other sidelink or non-sidelink operations.
