USER EQUIPMENT POSITIONING SIGNAL MEASUREMENT AND/OR TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

A method of initiating positioning reference signal exchange includes: determining, at a first user equipment, a null-zone presence of the first user equipment, the null-zone presence of the first user equipment being at least one of a current presence of the first user equipment in a null zone or a future presence of the first user equipment in the null zone; and transmitting, from the first user equipment and in response to determining the null-zone presence of the first user equipment, a request for positioning reference signal exchange between the first user equipment and a second user equipment separate from the first user equipment.
