Method and apparatus for wireless communication
The present disclosure is related to methods and apparatuses. According to some embodiments of the disclosure, a method includes: receiving, at a user equipment, configuration information indicating zone area information, wherein the zone area information indicates at least one geographic zone; and determining, at the user equipment, that a Global Position System (GPS) function is denied.
1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive configuration information indicating a respective resource allocation associated with at least one geographic zone; and
transmit, based at least in part on a global position system (GPS) function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied, a message that indicates a zone identifier of a geographic zone associated with the UE and a confidence level associated with the zone identifier, wherein the at least one geographic zone comprises the geographic zone associated with the UE.
2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to transmit a first additional message indicating the GPS function associated with the at least one geographic zone is denied.
3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to receive a second additional message that indicates the zone identifier of the geographic zone associated with the UE.
4. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to receive an additional message instructing the UE to enter a default state.
5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises parameters for triggering a report of a GPS state, and wherein the parameters include a value of a timer associated with the GPS function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied.
6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to start the timer in response to the GPS function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied.
7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to enter a default state in response to an expiry of the timer.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to transmit an additional message indicating that the UE has entered the default state in response to the expiry of the timer.
9. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to:
determine the zone identifier of the geographic zone associated with the UE according to a positioning method; and
receive a confirmation message indicating whether to perform zone operations according to the zone identifier of the geographic zone associated with the UE.
10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein to determine the zone identifier of the geographic zone associated with the UE, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:
broadcast an additional message indicating the GPS function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied;
receive an additional zone identifier for a neighboring UE, wherein the neighboring UE is a paired sidelink UE of the UE; and
determining the zone identifier for the UE based at least in part on the additional zone identifier for the neighboring UE.
11. A network equipment (NE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the NE to:
transmit configuration information indicating a respective resource allocation associated with at least one geographic zone; and
receive, based at least in part on a global position system (GPS) function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied, a message that indicates a zone identifier of the at least one geographic zone and a confidence level associated with the zone identifier.
12. The NE of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the NE to transmit, to the user a first additional message that indicates the zone identifier or a second additional message instructing a user equipment (UE) to enter a default state.
13. The NE of claim 11 , wherein the configuration information comprises parameters for triggering a report of GPS state, and wherein the parameters comprise a value of a timer associated with the GPS function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied.
14. The NE of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the NE to receive an additional message indicating that a user equipment (UE) has entered a default state.
15. The NE of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the NE to transmit a confirmation message in response to the message.
16. The NE of claim 15 , wherein the message indicates a positioning method associated with the zone identifier.
17. The NE of claim 15 , wherein:
the confirmation message comprises an acknowledgement (ACK) to instruct a user equipment (UE) to perform zone operations according to the zone identifier; or
the confirmation message comprises a negative ACK (NACK) to instruct the UE to enter a default state.
18. The NE of claim 15 , wherein the configuration information comprises a threshold for reporting the zone identifier.
19. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information indicating a respective resource allocation associated with at least one geographic zone; and
transmitting, based at least in part on a global position system (GPS) function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied, a message that indicates a zone identifier of a geographic zone associated with the UE and a confidence level associated with the zone identifier, wherein the at least one geographic zone comprises the geographic zone associated with the UE.
20. A processor for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
receive configuration information indicating a respective resource allocation associated with at least one geographic zone; and
transmit, based at least in part on a global position system (GPS) function associated with the at least one geographic zone being denied, a message that indicates a zone identifier of a geographic zone associated with the processor and a confidence level associated with the zone identifier, wherein the at least one geographic zone comprises the geographic zone associated with the processor.
