Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits, to a network entity, one or more capability messages indicating one or more capabilities of the UE to process positioning reference signals (PRS), the one or more capabilities indicating at least a duration of PRS that the UE can process within a measurement window without a measurement gap, and performs one or more positioning measurements of one or more PRS resources during the measurement window up to the duration of PRS.
Claims31
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a network entity, one or more capability messages indicating one or more capabilities of the UE to process positioning reference signals (PRS), wherein the one or more capabilities indicate at least a duration of PRS that the UE can process within a measurement window without a measurement gap, wherein the one or more capabilities indicate a minimum gap between a last repetition of a last PRS resource of a PRS instance and an end of the measurement window, and wherein the UE is not expected to process PRS resources that are closer than the minimum gap to the end of the measurement window;
- and
- performing one or more positioning measurements of one or more PRS resources during the measurement window up to the duration of PRS.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more memories;
- one or more transceivers;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
- transmit, via the one or more transceivers, to a network entity, one or more capability messages indicating one or more capabilities of the UE to process positioning reference signals (PRS), wherein the one or more capabilities indicate at least a duration of PRS that the UE can process within a measurement window without a measurement gap, wherein the one or more capabilities indicate a minimum gap between a last repetition of a last PRS resource of a PRS instance and an end of the measurement window, and wherein the UE is not expected to process PRS resources that are closer than the minimum gap to the end of the measurement window;
- and
- perform one or more positioning measurements of one or more PRS resources during the measurement window up to the duration of PRS.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for transmitting, to a network entity, one or more capability messages indicating one or more capabilities of the UE to process positioning reference signals (PRS), wherein the one or more capabilities indicate at least a duration of PRS that the UE can process within a measurement window without a measurement gap, wherein the one or more capabilities indicate a minimum gap between a last repetition of a last PRS resource of a PRS instance and an end of the measurement window, and wherein the UE is not expected to process PRS resources that are closer than the minimum gap to the end of the measurement window;
- and
- means for performing one or more positioning measurements of one or more PRS resources during the measurement window up to the duration of PRS.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- transmit, to a network entity, one or more capability messages indicating one or more capabilities of the UE to process positioning reference signals (PRS), wherein the one or more capabilities indicate at least a duration of PRS that the UE can process within a measurement window without a measurement gap, wherein the one or more capabilities indicate a minimum gap between a last repetition of a last PRS resource of a PRS instance and an end of the measurement window, and wherein the UE is not expected to process PRS resources that are closer than the minimum gap to the end of the measurement window;
- and
- perform one or more positioning measurements of one or more PRS resources during the measurement window up to the duration of PRS.
