Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration, the PRS configuration including at least a PRS periodicity defining repetitions of one or more PRS resources associated with at least a first transmission-reception point (TRP), receives a measurement gap configuration including at least a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) defining repetitions of a measurement gap, and performs one or more positioning measurements of at least the one or more PRS resources during one or more repetitions of a measurement period, the one or more repetitions of the measurement period having an effective measurement periodicity, the effective measurement periodicity based on an alignment periodicity and a time period T during which the UE can process a duration N of PRS symbols, the alignment periodicity based on the PRS periodicity and the MGRP.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communications. In an aspect, a network entity determines whether a source reference signal transmitted from a first transmission-reception point (TRP) is a quasi-collocation (QCL) source of a target reference signal transmitted from a second TRP based, at least in part, on a first bandwidth (BW) portion occupied by the source reference signal and a second BW portion occupied by the target reference signal, the first BW portion having a first start frequency and a first BW size and the second BW portion having a second start frequency and a second BW size, and configures a user equipment (UE) with the source reference signal as the QCL source of the target reference signal when it is so determined.
Abstract:
A method, at a transmission/reception point (TRP), of producing a positioning reference signal muting pattern includes: obtaining, at the TRP, one or more positioning reference signal criteria, the one or more positioning reference signal criteria regarding at least one of positioning reference signal transmission or positioning reference signal reception; and producing, at the TRP, the positioning reference signal muting pattern such that the positioning reference signal muting pattern meets the one or more positioning reference signal criteria
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits capability information indicating a maximum number of downlink resources for both positioning reference signal (PRS) resources and downlink resources for one or more second downlink channels or signals that the UE is capable of processing per unit of time, receives, from a serving transmission-reception point (TRP), a configuration of one or more downlink resources for the one or more second downlink channels or signals, wherein a number of the one or more downlink resources is less than the maximum number, and receives, from a location server, a configuration of one or more PRS resources for the serving TRP, one or more neighboring TRPs, or both, wherein a number of the one or more PRS resources is less than the maximum number.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to randomization of positioning reference signal (PRS) frequency offsets and muting patterns in long term evolution (LTE) for enhanced observed time difference of arrival (eOTDOA). According to certain aspects, a method is provided for wireless communications which may be performed, for example, by a base station (BS). The method generally includes randomly selecting at least one parameter used to determine a set of time-frequency resources for transmitting positioning reference signals (PRS) and transmitting PRS on the determined set of time-frequency resources. The user equipment (UE) may randomly select the at least one parameter used to determine the set of time-frequency resources to measure for the PRS from the BS and measure PRS on the determined set of time-frequency resources.

Abstract:
In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a first time period to evaluate one or more quality parameters of one or more reference signals, wherein the first time period is based on at least one of a number of panels of the UE or a number of beams that the UE monitors simultaneously; determining, by the UE, a quality parameter of a beam or a cell based on the one or more quality parameters of the one or more reference signals; and determining, by the UE, whether the one or more quality parameters of the one or more reference signals exceeds a quality threshold.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) configured for position determination receives positioning assistance data from a location server that is positioning method specific and provides information related to the prioritization of one or more of frequency layers, transmission points (TRPs), Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) resource sets, and PRS resources or a combination thereof. The positioning assistance data may be generated by the location server in response to the UE measurement capabilities. The UE determines a prioritization for PRS measurements based at least on one or more orderings of the information for the frequency layers, the TRPs, the PRS resource sets, or the PRS resources in the positioning assistance data, or a combination thereof and the positioning method. Downlink PRS are measured by the UE based on the prioritization.
