Abstract
Techniques are provided in which a target UE can be provided with a processing window (PW) configuration that defines a PW during which the target UE may measure one or more RS resources. The PW optionally may allow the target UE to transmit an uplink (UL) RS. The PW configuration may be provided to the target UE by a serving base station of the target UE in response to a request for the PW configuration by the target UE or a location server. The request may include information regarding an RS configuration provided to the target UE.
Claims24
A method of coordinating reference signal (RS) processing at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, at the UE, an RS configuration indicative of a timing of one or more RS resources;
- obtaining a processing window (PW) configuration based at least in part on the RS configuration, wherein obtaining the PW configuration includes determining the PW configuration based on an application of one or more predetermined rules to the RS configuration, wherein the application of the one or more predetermined rules comprises:
- determining at least two PW fragments based on the RS configuration;
- and
- merging the at least two PW fragments, wherein the PW configuration comprises information indicative of:
- one or more RS reception times of at least one PW for performing one or more measurements of the one or more RS resources, and
- a processing time of the at least one PW;
- and
- performing the one or more measurements with the UE during the one or more RS reception times of the at least one PW.
A user equipment (UE) for coordinating reference signal (RS) processing, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- receive, via the transceiver, an RS configuration indicative of a timing of one or more RS resources;
- obtain a processing window (PW) configuration based at least in part on the RS configuration, wherein, to obtain the PW configuration, the one or more processors are configured to determine the PW configuration based on an application of one or more predetermined rules to the RS configuration, wherein application of the one or more predetermined rules to the RS configuration includes configuring the one or more processors to:
- determine at least two PW fragments based on the RS configuration;
- and
- merge the at least two PW fragments, wherein the PW configuration comprises information indicative of:
- one or more RS reception times of at least one PW for performing one or more measurements of the one or more RS resources, and
- a processing time of the at least one PW;
- and
- perform the one or more measurements, using the transceiver, during the one or more RS reception times of the at least one PW.
A method of coordinating reference signal (RS) processing at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, at the UE, an RS configuration indicative of a timing of one or more RS resources;
- obtaining a processing window (PW) configuration based at least in part on the RS configuration, wherein obtaining the PW configuration includes determining the PW configuration based on an application of one or more predetermined rules to the RS configuration, wherein the application of the one or more predetermined rules comprises determining at least two PW fragments based on the RS configuration, wherein a first PW fragment of the at least two PW fragments is separated in time from a second PW fragment of the at least two PW fragments by less than a first threshold amount of time, wherein the PW configuration comprises information indicative of:
- one or more RS reception times of at least one PW for performing one or more measurements of the one or more RS resources, and
- a processing time of the at least one PW;
- and
- performing the one or more measurements with the UE during the one or more RS reception times of the at least one PW.
