Reporting reference signal-related consistencies in support of user equipment positioning

Abstract:

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses are described for reporting, in support of positioning a UE, information about consistencies of positioning reference signal (PRS) measurements, PRS resources, PRS resource sets, or transmission and reception points (TRPs). In some embodiments, a UE receives PRS resources from TRPs and performs PRS measurements based on the PRS resources. The UE determines whether certain PRS measurements, PRS resources, PRS resource sets, or TRPs contribute to a consistent position estimate and/or consistent positioning measurements. The UE reports to a device, such as to a location server, information about consistent groups, where each consistent group identifies a set of such consistent elements.
