METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PER-METHOD POSITIONING ASSISTANCE PRIORITIZATION

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.
