Abstract
In an aspect, a BS transmits PRS on a first frequency-domain resource during a measurement period. A UE measures the PRS, and transmits a RS-P (e.g., SRS-P) on a second frequency-domain resource that does not overlap with the first frequency-domain resource in frequency.
Claims64
A method of operating a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a configuration of a plurality of frequency-domain resources, wherein each frequency-domain resource configuration is associated with a bandwidth and subcarrier spacing (SCS);
- receiving, from the base station, a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration that configures a PRS on a first of the plurality of frequency-domain resources;
- receiving, from the base station, a first reference signal for positioning (RS-P) configuration that configures a RS-P on a second of the plurality of frequency-domain resources;
- performing, during a measurement period associated with the first frequency-domain resource, one or more positioning measurements of the PRS on the first frequency-domain resource;
- and
- transmitting, during the measurement period, the RS-P on the second frequency-domain resource.
