Configurable quality metric for positioning measurements

A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:

• performing one or more positioning measurements of one or more types of positioning measurements of one or more reference signals;
• and
• transmitting, to a positioning entity, the one or more positioning measurements and one or more measurement quality values representing a measurement quality of the one or more positioning measurements, the one or more measurement quality values based on measurement quality reporting parameters, wherein the measurement quality reporting parameters comprise at least a minimum error value for the one or more positioning measurements, a maximum error value for the one or more positioning measurements, and a number of bits used to report the one or more measurement quality values, wherein the number of bits is based on the minimum error value, the maximum error value, and a scaling function, and wherein the scaling function is used to calculate the one or more measurement quality values based on the minimum error value, the maximum error value, and the number of bits.

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

• transmitting, to a network node, during a positioning session between a mobile device and the positioning entity, positioning assistance data including a measurement quality definition field indicating how a measurement quality of positioning measurements performed by the network node is to be reported, wherein the measurement quality definition field comprises a minimum error value for the one or more positioning measurements, a maximum error value for the one or more positioning measurements, a number of bits used to report the measurement quality value, a scaling function or an identifier of the scaling function, or any combination thereof, and wherein the number of bits is based on the minimum error value, the maximum error value, and the scaling function;
• and
• receiving, from the network node, one or more positioning measurements of one or more reference signals and one or more measurement quality values representing a measurement quality of the one or more positioning measurements, wherein the scaling function is used to calculate the one or more measurement quality values based on the minimum error value, the maximum error value, and the number of bits.
