RESOURCE ALLOCATION, REFERENCE SIGNAL DESIGN, AND BEAM MANAGEMENT FOR NEW RADIO (NR) POSITIONING

Abstract:

A design for reference signals dedicated for positioning measurements in UL and DL directions and a mechanism for Tx/Rx beam pair selection for positioning is disclosed. The design can improve performance of positioning operation in NR communication systems, can improve resource efficiency of positioning operation in NR communication systems, and can reduce the amount of resources needed for PRS transmission, reduce latency and increase the positioning measurement quality.
