Low-layer (dci or mac ce) dl puncturing indicator for positioning reference signals (prs)

A user equipment (UE) capable of supporting positioning for the UE, the UE comprising:

• at least one wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs);
• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one wireless transceiver and the at least one memory and configured to:
• receive assistance data for positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs;
• receive a plurality of positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs;
• receive a positioning reference signal preemption indication (PRS PI) indicating that one or more positioning reference signals associated with one or more TRPs have been preempted;
• and
• perform positioning measurements using received positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs based at least on the PRS PI indication.

A user equipment (UE) capable of supporting positioning for the UE, the UE comprising:

• means for receiving assistance data for positioning reference signals from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs);
• means for receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs;
• means for receiving a positioning reference signal preemption indication (PRS PI) indicating that one or more positioning reference signals associated with one or more TRPs have been preempted;
• and
• means for performing positioning measurements using received positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs based at least on the PRS PI indication.

A non-transitory storage medium including program code stored thereon, the program code is operable to configure at least one processor in a user equipment (UE) to support positioning for the UE, the non-transitory storage medium comprising:

• program code to receive assistance data for positioning reference signals from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs);
• program code to receive a plurality of positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs;
• program code to receive a positioning reference signal preemption indication (PRS PI) indicating that one or more positioning reference signals associated with one or more TRPs have been preempted;
• and
• program code to perform positioning measurements using received positioning reference signals from the plurality of TRPs based at least on the PRS PI indication.
