Positioning reference signal transmission with controlled transmission power and bandwidth

Abstract:

Disclosed are techniques for transmitting reference signals (RS) for positioning. A method comprises transmitting or providing an instruction to transmit a first set of RS to a user equipment (UE) in accordance with a first set of RS transmission parameters, receiving a report containing information indicating whether a measurement performed by the UE is limited by a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the first set of RS or a bandwidth of the first set of RS, determining a second set of RS transmission parameters using the received report, wherein the second set of RS transmission parameters is different from the first set of RS transmission parameters, and transmitting a second set of RS to the UE in accordance with the second set of RS transmission parameters, or providing the second set of RS transmission parameters to a base station.
