Positioning SRS Transmissions During a Discontinuous Reception Cycle

Abstract:

A base station of a network acts as a serving node for a user equipment (UE). The UE is a target UE in a positioning method initiated by the network. The base station compares discontinuous reception (DRX) timing information for a DRX cycle of the UE with positioning sounding reference signal (SRS) timing information for an SRS configuration of the UE, determines whether the positioning SRS is located within an inactive time of the DRX cycle and when the positioning SRS is located within the inactive time of the DRX cycle, modifies one of the DRX cycle or the SRS configuration.
