The first wireless device receives, from the network function, a second message indicating that the first wireless device is authorized to assist the ranging service.
1 . A method comprising:
sending, by a first wireless device to a network function, a first message comprising at least one of:
a request for an authorization to assist a ranging service; or
an assistant capability of the first wireless device for the ranging service; and
receiving, by the first wireless device from the network function, a second message indicating that the first wireless device is authorized to assist the ranging service.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the network function comprises an access and mobility management function (AMF).
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message indicates a ranging capability of the first wireless device.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the ranging capability of the first wireless device indicates that the first wireless device has the capability to measure a range of a second wireless device.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing, by the first wireless device and based on receiving the second message, the ranging service.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device provides the ranging service for at least one second wireless device.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device assists a second wireless device to perform the ranging service for a third wireless device.
8 . A first wireless device comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first wireless device to:
send, to a network function, a first message comprising at least one of:
a request for an authorization to assist a ranging service; or
an assistant capability of the first wireless device for the ranging service; and
receive, from the network function, a second message indicating that the first wireless device is authorized to assist the ranging service.
9 . The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the network function comprises an access and mobility management function (AMF).
10 . The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first message indicates a ranging capability of the first wireless device.
11 . The first wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the ranging capability of the first wireless device indicates that the first wireless device has the capability to measure a range of a second wireless device.
12 . The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further cause the first wireless device to perform, based on receiving the second message, the ranging service.
13 . The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first wireless device provides the ranging service for at least one second wireless device.
14 . The first wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first wireless device assists a second wireless device to perform the ranging service for a third wireless device.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first wireless device, cause the first wireless device to:
send, to a network function, a first message comprising at least one of:
a request for an authorization to assist a ranging service; or
an assistant capability of the first wireless device for the ranging service; and
receive, from the network function, a second message indicating that the first wireless device is authorized to assist the ranging service.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the network function comprises an access and mobility management function (AMF).
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first message indicates a ranging capability of the first wireless device.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the ranging capability of the first wireless device indicates that the first wireless device has the capability to measure a range of a second wireless device.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further cause the first wireless device to perform, based on receiving the second message, the ranging service.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first wireless device provides the ranging service for at least one second wireless device.
