Positioning techniques for user equipment in a network

One or more processor of a network component configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of an effective timing error for an uplink time difference of arrival (UL-TDOA) positioning technique, wherein the effective timing error is associated with a set of base stations configured to receive positioning reference signals from a user equipment (UE) for the UL-TDOA;
• providing the effective timing error to at least one of the set of base stations performing operations related to the UL-TDOA;
• and
• generating, for transmission to the UE, an LTE Position Protocol (LPP) Provide Assistance Data message including an identifier associated with multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) and the effective timing error, wherein the identifier associated with the multiple TRPs and the effective timing error is used for UE-based positioning techniques.

One or more processors of a network component configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of an effective timing error for a multi-round trip time (m-RTT) positioning technique, wherein the effective timing error is associated with at least one base station and a user equipment (UE) configured to transmit and receive positioning reference signals for the m-RTT;
• providing the effective timing error to one of the base station or the UE;
• and
• generating, for transmission to the UE, an LTE Position Protocol (LPP) Provide Assistance Data message including an identifier associated with multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) and the effective timing error, wherein the identifier associated with the multiple TRPs and the effective timing error is used for UE-based positioning techniques.
