Facilitating time-aligned measurements for user equipments (ues) and base stations for positioning

A method of communication performed by a base station, comprising:

• receiving a request from a location server, the request including at least a set of parameters indicating one or more time instances during which a user equipment (UE) is expected to transmit periodic sounding reference signals (SRS);
• configuring the UE to transmit the periodic SRS at least during the one or more time instances;
• and
• determining whether to transmit, to the UE, a timing adjust (TA) update related to the periodic SRS within the one or more time instances, whether to avoid scheduling higher priority traffic during the one or more time instances, whether to request the UE to feedback to the base station any autonomous timing adjustments associated with the one or more time instances, or any combination thereof.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a request from a location server, the request including a configuration for the UE to report any timing adjustments associated with one or more time instances during which the UE is configured to transmit periodic sounding reference signals (SRS);
• performing a timing adjustment of the periodic SRS during at least one of the one or more time instances;
• and
• transmitting an indication of the timing adjustment to the location server.
