Step 1.
The AMF serving UE1 sends a location request to the LMF including information on the required location results of the n UEs (e.g., absolute location, relative location or ranges and directions between pairs of UE(s)), the required LCS QoS and the Application Layer IDs of the UEs when available, as described in TS 23.273.
Step 2.
The LMF sends an SL-MT-LR request to UE1 (via serving AMF) including the types of required location results (e.g., absolute location, relative locations or distances and/or directions) and the Application Layer IDs of the other UEs 2 to n.
Step 3.
UE1 attempts to discover the other UEs 2 to n using their Application Layer IDs if not already discovered, as described in TS 23.273.
Step 4.
UE1 obtains the sidelink positioning capabilities of the discovered UEs using the SLPP capability transfer procedures specified in clause 7.11.2.1.
Step 5.
UE1 returns a SL-MT-LR Response to the LMF (via serving AMF) indicating which of the UEs 2 to n have been discovered and the sidelink positioning capabilities of the discovered UEs, if obtained.
Step 6a.
The LMF may send a SLPP Request Capabilities message to UE1 to request the SL positioning and ranging capabilities of UE1 as described in clause 7.11.2.1.
Step 6b.
The LMF may request from UE1 the SL positioning and ranging capabilities of UEs 2 to n using the Supplementary RSPP Procedure. The Supplementary RSPP message includes embedded SLPP Request Capabilities messages for UEs 2 to n together with their Application Layer IDs.
Step 6c.
UE1 may instigate the SLPP Capability Transfer procedure specified in clause 7.11.2.1 with UEs 2 to n to obtain the sidelink positioning capabilities for UEs 2 to n, if not already obtained (e.g., at step 4).

7.3A.3  SL-MT-LR Service Support for periodic, triggered Location Eventsp. 52

Figure 7.3A.3-1 shows the sequence of operations for an SL-MT-LR location service for periodic and triggered location events, starting at the point where the AMF initiates the service in the LMF.
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 38.305, Fig. 7.3A.3-1: UE Positioning Operations to support an SL-MT-LR for periodic, triggered Location Events
Up
Step 1.
The AMF serving UE1 sends a location request to the LMF to request periodic or triggered sidelink positioning/ranging location results of the n UEs (e.g., absolute locations, relative location or ranges and directions between pairs of UE(s)). The request includes information on the time interval between successive location reports, the total number of reports, and/or the details of the trigger event (e.g., change of location or ranges), the SUPI of UE1, the required LCS QoS and the Application Layer IDs of the UEs when available, as described in TS 23.273.
Step 2.
The LMF sends a Periodic-Triggered SL-MT-LR request to UE1 (via serving AMF) including the information of the periodic or triggered event, the types of required location results (e.g., absolute location, relative locations or distances and/or directions) and the Application Layer IDs of the other UEs 2 to n.
Step 3.
UE1 attempts to discover the other UEs 2 to n using their Application Layer IDs if not already discovered, as described in TS 23.273.
Step 4.
UE1 obtains the sidelink positioning capabilities of the discovered UEs using the SLPP capability transfer procedures specified in clause 7.11.2.1.
Step 5.
UE1 returns a Periodic-Triggered SL-MT-LR Response to the LMF (via serving AMF) indicating which of the UEs 2 to n have been discovered, whether the UEs 1 to n accept the periodic or triggered location request, and the sidelink positioning capabilities of the discovered UEs, if obtained.
Step 6a.
The LMF may instigate one or more SLPP and Supplementary RSPP procedures with UE1 to transfer sidelink positioning capabilities for UEs 1 to n, to transfer SLPP assistance data for UEs 1 to n, and to transfer sidelink location information for UEs 1 to n (e.g., sidelink ranging and/or location measurements or location estimates obtained at step 6b), as described in steps 6a/b/d/e, 7a/b/c/d, and 8a/b/d/e in Figure 7.3A.2-1.
Step 6b.
UE1 may instigate one or more SLPP procedures among UEs 1 to n to transfer sidelink positioning capabilities, provide sidelink assistance data to the UEs 2 to n, and/or obtain sidelink location information for UEs 1 to n (e.g., sidelink ranging and/or location measurements or location estimates) as described in steps 6c, 7e, and 8c in Figure 7.3A.2-1.
Step 7.
The LMF returns a location response to the AMF indicating that the SL-MT-LR for periodic, triggered Location Events has been successfully initiated and with any initial sidelink positioning/ranging location results obtained as a result of steps 6.
Step 8.
The UEs 1 to n may periodically perform sidelink positioning/ranging in order to support steps 9 and 10. The UE may perform steps 6c, 7e, and 8c in Figure 7.3A.2-1.
Step 9.
The UE monitors for occurrence of the trigger or periodic event requested at step 2.
Step 10.
UE1 sends an event report message to the LMF (via serving AMF) indicating the type of event being reported and may include sidelink location results obtained at step 8.
Step 11.
The LMF (via serving AMF) returns an event report acknowledgement to UE1.
Step 12.
If sidelink location results are needed for event reporting and not received at step 10, the LMF may instigate one or more SLPP and Supplementary RSPP procedures with UE1 as described in step 6a/6b.
Step 13.
The LMF returns the event report and any sidelink location results to the LCS Client or AF.
Step 14.
The UEs 1 to n continue to periodically perform sidelink positioning/ranging as in step 8.
Step 15.
The UE1 continues to monitor for further periodic or trigger events as in step 9 and instigates steps 10-12 each time a periodic or trigger event is detected.
