Multi-level configuration and reporting for positioning in new radio

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• one or more transceivers;
• one or more memory;
• and
• one or more processors electronically coupled to one or more memory and one or more transceiver, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive, via the one or more transceivers from a UE, an indication of a capability for reporting measurements related to positioning of the UE;
• determine, based at least in part on the indication, one or more configurations associated with one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs), the one or more configurations comprising one or more positioning reference signal resources;
• transmit, via the one or more transceivers to the UE based at least in part on the determining, signaling comprising the one or more configurations;
• and
• receive, via the one or more transceivers from the UE based at least in part on the one or more configurations, one or more report parameters associated with the positioning of the UE with a first reporting level for the UE or a second reporting level for the UE that is different than the first reporting level.

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• transmitting, to a network entity, an indication of a capability for reporting measurements related to positioning of the UE;
• receiving, from the network entity based at least in part on the indication, signaling comprising one or more configurations associated with one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs), the one or more configurations comprising one or more positioning reference signal resources;
• determining, based at least in part on the one or more configurations, one or more report parameters associated with the positioning of the UE;
• and
• transmitting, to the network entity based at least in part on the one or more configurations, the one or more report parameters using a first reporting level for the UE or a second reporting level for the UE that is different than the first reporting level.
