Improved positioning resolution and latency may be achieved via physical layer signaling between a mobile device (UE) and a base station. The physical layer procedures may aid target UEs in enhancing their positioning accuracy and latency, and/or reducing network overhead while boosting UE power efficiency. Accordingly, a UE may transmit, via physical layer signaling to a base station, a request for positioning-resources, for example in response to a determination that current positioning-resources of the UE need to be adjusted. The UE may in turn receive, via physical layer signaling from the base station, an indication of adjusted positioning-resources, and may optionally receive an indication of corresponding allocated grant-resources. The UE may use the adjusted positioning-resources to perform new positioning measurements, and may use the corresponding allocated grant-resources to transmit, via physical layer signaling to the base station, positioning information resulting from the new positioning measurements.
