Enhanced reporting of positioning-related states

A method of wireless communication performed by a positioning device, comprising:

• identifying a motion state configuration associated with a mobile device, the motion state configuration including information available independent of using a sensor and indicating possible positions of the mobile device during a controlled movement of the mobile device along a configured path, within a configured surface, or within a configured volume,
• the possible positions including positions within a threshold uncertainty from the configured path, the configured surface, or the configured volume on which the mobile device is controlled to move;
• and
• determining a position of the mobile device based at least in part on the motion state configuration.

A first device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• identify a motion state configuration associated with a second device, the motion state configuration including information available independent of using a sensor and indicating possible positions of the second device during a controlled movement of the second device along a configured path, within a configured surface, or within a configured volume;
• and
• provide, to a positioning device, the motion state configuration in association with determining a position of the second device,
• the motion sate configuration provided to the position device including the information indicating the possible positions, and
• the possible positions including positions within a threshold uncertainty from the configured path, the configured surface, or the configured volume on which the second device is controlled to move.
