Positioning capability reporting based on multi-transmission-reception points

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

• engaging in a positioning session with a network entity while operating in a multi-transmission-reception point (multi-TRP) mode;
• receiving a measurement request to measure a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) resources for the positioning session;
• and
• measuring an enhanced set of the plurality of PRS resources during a measurement period based on the UE being in the multi-TRP mode, wherein the enhanced set of the plurality of PRS resources includes more PRS resources than a nominal set of the plurality of PRS resources that the UE is capable of measuring during the measurement period, measurement occasion, or measurement instance while operating in a single-transmission-reception point (S-TRP) mode.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• operate in a multi-transmission-reception point (multi-TRP) mode;
• engage in a positioning session with a network entity while operating in the multi-TRP mode;
• and
• report, via the at least one transceiver, a set of positioning capabilities for the positioning session to the network entity, wherein the set of positioning capabilities indicate one or more enhanced positioning capabilities of the UE to perform positioning operations based on the UE operating in the multi-TRP mode, and wherein the one or more enhanced positioning capabilities are greater than one or more corresponding positioning capabilities of the UE to perform positioning operations based on the UE operating in a single-transmission-reception point (S-TRP) mode.
