Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for on-demand UE positioning. For example a method may include transmitting a request that comprises one or more parameters based on a request configuration, to at least one of a plurality of base stations of a network, to participate in at least one of an uplink UE positioning procedure or a downlink UE positioning procedure, and receiving signaling from the at least one of the plurality of base stations of the network in response to the request.
Claims27
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) comprising:
- transmitting, to one or more base stations, a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used for transmission of positioning reference signals (PRS) as part of the UE positioning procedure;
- and
- receiving, from the one or more base stations, PRS transmitted in accordance with at least one of the parameters indicated in the request.
A method for wireless communication by a base station (BS) comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used for transmission of positioning reference signals (PRS) as part of the UE positioning procedure;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, PRS based on one or more of the parameters indicated in response to the request.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) comprising:
- means for transmitting, to one or more base stations, a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used in the UE positioning procedure;
- and
- means for receiving, from the one or more base stations, signaling related to the UE positioning procedure after sending the request.
An apparatus for wireless communication by a base station (BS) comprising:
- means for receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request to participate in a UE positioning procedure, wherein the request indicates one or more parameters to be used in the UE positioning procedure;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the UE, signaling related to the UE positioning procedure after receiving the request.
