DETERMINATION OF CAPABILITY OF USER EQUIPMENT TO MEASURE A DOWNLINK POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL ACROSS A PLURALITY OF FREQUENCY HOPS

Abstract:

In an aspect, a network component (e.g., BS, LMF, etc.) determines a capability of the UE perform receive frequency hopping to measure a downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) across a plurality of frequency hops, the DL-PRS transmitted over a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbols on a same transmission bandwidth (e.g., without frequency hopping), and each of the plurality of frequency hops associated with a sub-band of the transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS, and configures one or more parameters associated with positioning of the UE based at least in part on the capability. In some designs, the UE may send an indication of the capability to the network component to facilitate the determination, while in other designs the network component may determine the capability via another mechanism.
