Common batch mode reporting framework

A wireless signaling device comprising:

• means for receiving, from a network entity, a batch request indicating a plurality of positioning methods;
• means for receiving one or more PRS resources (positioning reference signal resources);
• means for measuring one or more of the one or more PRS resources for each of the plurality of positioning methods indicated by the batch request to determine, in combination, a plurality of PRS measurements such that the plurality of PRS measurements are determined in accordance with a same one or more common batch configuration parameters for each positioning method of the plurality of positioning methods, wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters are indicated by the batch request, and wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters include at least a measurement window defining a time period during which the one or more of the one or more PRS resources to be measured arrive at the wireless signaling device;
• and
• means for transmitting, to the network entity, a batch measurement report based on the plurality of PRS measurements and including a respective batch measurement sub-report for each of the plurality of positioning methods, each respective batch measurement sub-report comprising a respective batch of the plurality of PRS measurements.

A batch measurement reporting method comprising:

• receiving, at a wireless signaling device from a network entity, a batch request indicating a plurality of positioning methods;
• receiving, at the wireless signaling device, one or more PRS resources (positioning reference signal resources);
• measuring, at the wireless signaling device, one or more of the one or more PRS resources for each of the plurality of positioning methods indicated by the batch request to determine, in combination, a plurality of PRS measurements such that the plurality of PRS measurements are determined in accordance with a same one or more common batch configuration parameters for each positioning method of the plurality of positioning methods, wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters are indicated by the batch request, and wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters include at least a measurement window defining a time period during which the one or more of the one or more PRS resources to be measured arrive at the wireless signaling device;
• and
• transmitting, from the wireless signaling device to the network entity, a batch measurement report based on the plurality of PRS measurements and including a respective batch measurement sub-report for each of the plurality of positioning methods, each respective batch measurement sub-report comprising a respective batch of the plurality of PRS measurements.

A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions to cause one or more processors of a wireless signaling device to:

• receive, from a network entity, a batch request indicating a plurality of positioning methods;
• receive one or more PRS resources (positioning reference signal resources);
• measure one or more of the one or more PRS resources for each of the plurality of positioning methods indicated by the batch request to determine, in combination, a plurality of PRS measurements such that the plurality of PRS measurements are determined in accordance with a same one or more common batch configuration parameters for each positioning method of the plurality of positioning methods, wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters are indicated by the batch request, and wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters include at least a measurement window defining a time period during which the one or more of the one or more PRS resources to be measured arrive at the wireless signaling device;
• and
• transmit, to the network entity, a batch measurement report based on the plurality of PRS measurements and including a respective batch measurement sub-report for each of the plurality of positioning methods, each respective batch measurement sub-report comprising a respective batch of the plurality of PRS measurements.

An apparatus comprising:

• a transceiver;
• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the one or more memories, configured to:
• transmit, via the transceiver to a wireless signaling device, a batch request indicating a plurality of positioning methods in accordance with which the wireless signaling device is to measure PRS resources (positioning reference signal resources) using a same one or more common batch configuration parameters for each positioning method of the plurality of positioning methods, for batch reporting for each of the plurality of positioning methods, wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters are indicated by the batch request, and wherein the one or more common batch configuration parameters include at least a measurement window defining a time period during which the PRS resources to be measured arrive at the wireless signaling device;
• and
• receive a batch report comprising a respective batch of PRS measurements for each of the plurality of positioning methods.
