Positioning measurement data reported via L1 or L2 signaling

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for obtaining measurement data associated with at least one Positioning Reference Signal (PRS);
• means for transmitting, to a base station (BS) in a first L1 or L2 positioning state information (PSI) report opportunity, a first PSI report indicative of a first set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data;
• and
• means for transmitting, to the BS in a second L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity that is subsequent to the first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a second PSI report that is indicative of a second set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data, the second set of measurement values being refined from the first set of measurement values.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• obtain, via the at least one transceiver, measurement data associated with at least one Positioning Reference Signal (PRS);
• transmit, via the at least one transceiver to a base station (BS) in a first L1 or L2 positioning state information (PSI) report opportunity, a first PSI report indicative of a first set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data;
• and
• transmit, via the at least one transceiver to the BS in a second L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity that is subsequent to the first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a second PSI report that is indicative of a second set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data, the second set of measurement values being refined from the first set of measurement values.

A base station (BS), comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, via the at least one transceiver from a user equipment (UE) in a first L1 or L2 positioning state information (PSI) report opportunity, a first PSI report indicative of a first set of measurement values associated with measurement data associated with at least one Positioning Reference Signal (PRS);
• and
• receive, via the at least one transceiver from the UE in a second L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity that is subsequent to the first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a second PSI report that is indicative of a second set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data, the second set of measurement values being refined from the first set of measurement values.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction instructing a user equipment (UE) to obtain measurement data associated with at least one Positioning Reference Signal (PRS);
• at least one instruction instructing the UE to transmit, to a base station (BS) in a first L1 or L2 positioning state information (PSI) report opportunity, a first PSI report indicative of a first set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data;
• and
• at least one instruction instructing the UE to transmit, to the BS in a second L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity that is subsequent to the first L1 or L2 PSI report opportunity, a second PSI report that is indicative of a second set of measurement values associated with the at least one PRS based on the measurement data, the second set of measurement values being refined from the first set of measurement values.
