Abstract
Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate and/or support one or more operations and/or techniques for enhanced resource sharing for positioning reference signals (PRS) measurements, such as for use in or with mobile communication devices, for example.
Claims30
A method, at a mobile device, comprising:
- configuring a transceiver device, the transceiver device comprising a transmitter and a receiver, to operate in a half-duplex mode for communication of messages between the mobile device and an access transceiver device;
- and
- selectively configuring the receiver to acquire positioning occasions of a positioning reference signal (PRS) while the transmitter is transmitting messages to the access transceiver device and while the transceiver device is operating in the half-duplex mode.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for configuring a transceiver device, the transceiver device comprising a transmitter and a receiver, to operate in a half-duplex mode for communication of messages between a mobile device and an access transceiver device;
- and
- means for selectively configuring the receiver to acquire positioning occasions of a positioning reference signal (PRS) while the transmitter is transmitting messages to the access transceiver device in and while the transceiver device is operating in the half-duplex mode.
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface coupled to a receiver of a mobile device to communicate with an electronic communications network and one or more processors coupled to a memory and to the communication interface, the communication interface and the one or more processors configured to:
- configure a transceiver device, the transceiver device comprising a transmitter and a receiver, to operate in a half-duplex mode for communication of messages between the mobile device and an access transceiver device;
- and
- selectively configure the receiver to acquire positioning occasions of a positioning reference signal (PRS) while the transmitter is transmitting messages to the access transceiver device and while the transceiver device is operating in the half-duplex mode.
1 more element
A non-transitory storage medium having instructions executable by a processor to:
- configure a transceiver device, the transceiver device comprising a transmitter and a receiver, to operate in a half-duplex mode for communication of messages between a mobile device and an access transceiver device;
- and
- selectively configure the receiver to acquire positioning occasions of a positioning reference signal (PRS) while the transmitter is transmitting messages to the access transceiver device and while the transceiver device is operating in the half-duplex mode.
