Propagation delay compensation enhancement

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of a configuration for transmitting a propagation delay compensation report and a reference signal resource for performing one or more round trip timing measurements associated with the propagation delay compensation report;
• transmit, to the UE, control signaling comprising a request for the UE to transmit the propagation delay compensation report including the one or more round trip timing measurements;
• and
• receive, from the UE, the propagation delay compensation report in accordance with the request.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a location management function, a request for round trip timing information associated with communications between the base station and a user equipment (UE);
• transmit, to the UE, a reference signal configuration for performing a propagation delay compensation procedure associated with the round trip timing information;
• receive, from the location management function, the round trip timing information comprising one or more round trip timing measurements in accordance with the transmitted request, and
• transmit, to the UE, propagation delay compensation information based at least in part on the one or more round trip timing measurements.
