Wireless communication methods, network nodes, and user devices for wireless communication by pedestrians

Abstract

In general, the invention relates to a wireless method, a network node, and a pedestrian user equipment for wireless communication. In some respects, the network node is capable of receiving a first set of distance measurements based at least in part on one or more first location reference signals communicated over the sub-link between the pedestrian user equipment (P-UE) and the vehicle UE (V-UE). The network node can receive a second set of distance data based at least in part on one or more second location reference signals communicated over the access link between the P-UE and one or more base stations. The network node can transmit, to the P-UE, the estimated position of the P-UE. For example, in some respects, the estimated position of the P-UE may be based at least in part on the first set of distance data and the second set of distance data. Several other respects are also mentioned.
