Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) reports, to a network entity, a minimum number of symbols of a positioning reference signal (PRS) resource of a first transmission-reception point (TRP) of a pair of TRPs based on a reference signal time difference (RSTD) uncertainty parameter for the pair of TRPs, wherein the minimum number of symbols is less than a total number of symbols allocated for the PRS resource, and performs a positioning measurement of the minimum number of symbols of the PRS resource.
