Signaling consideration for new radio positioning with disjoint bandwidth segments

A method of determining positioning, comprising:

• transmitting, via a transceiver, one or more indications of a preferred bandwidth configuration;
• receiving, via the transceiver, a positioning configuration indicating disjoint bandwidth segments containing a positioning reference signal based on the preferred bandwidth configuration;
• and
• determining one or more positioning measurements based on the positioning reference signal in the disjoint bandwidth segments.

An apparatus for determining positioning, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor being configured to:
• receive, via the transceiver, one or more indications of a preferred bandwidth configuration for signaling consideration transmitted by a user equipment;
• determine a positioning configuration indicating disjoint bandwidth segments containing a positioning reference signal based on the preferred bandwidth configuration;
• and
• provide, via the transceiver, the positioning configuration indicating the disjoint bandwidth segments to the user equipment for the user equipment to determine one or more positioning measurements based on the positioning reference signal in the disjoint bandwidth segments.
