Signaling for round trip time (RTT) based positioning using stronger path tracking

Abstract:

The disclosed methods and apparatuses for round trip time (RTT) based positioning include generating or receiving a measurement report. The measurement report includes, for at least one transmission-reception point (TRP), a user equipment (UE) time difference and an offset of the at least one TRP. The UE time difference is a difference of a UE transmission time of an uplink reference signals (UL RS) to the at least one TRP and an earliest reception time representing a time of arrival (TOA) at the UE of an earliest path of a downlink reference signal (DL RS) from the at least one transmission-reception point (TRP). The offset is a difference of a stronger reception time representing a TOA at the UE of a stronger path of the DL RS from the at least one TRP and the earliest reception time.
