RSTD Measurement Report Mapping for NR Positioning

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver configured to establish a connection to a network, the network comprising a first cell and a second cell, the transceiver receiving a positioning reference signal from each of the first and second cells;
• and
• a processor configured to determine a frequency band for each of the positioning reference signals, determine reference signal time difference (RSTD) values from measured time offsets between the positioning reference signals from the first and second cells, and determine RSTD reporting values based on at least the RSTD values and the determined frequency bands,
• wherein the transceiver transmits an indication of the RSTD reporting values to the network.

An integrated circuit, comprising:

• circuitry configured to establish a connection to a network, the network comprising a first cell and a second cell;
• circuitry configured to receive a positioning reference signal from each of the first and second cells;
• circuitry configured to determine a frequency band for each of the positioning reference signals;
• circuitry configured to determine reference signal time difference (RSTD) values from measured time offsets between the positioning reference signals from two cells;
• circuitry configured to determine RSTD reporting values based on at least the RSTD values and the determined frequency bands;
• and
• circuitry to transmit an indication of the RSTD reporting values to the network.
