Abstract
Example embodiments of the subject disclosure relate to resource reservation for a positioning reference signal. A first device obtains a configuration indicating a resource for a positioning reference signal. The positioning reference signal is used to position a second device in a first area. The first device selects a set of third devices from a plurality of third devices in the first area. The first device transmits the configuration to the set of third devices for reserving the resource.

1-44. (canceled)
A first device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first device at least to:
- obtain a configuration indicating a resource for a positioning reference signal for a second device in a first area;
- select, from a plurality of third devices in the first area, a set of third devices by which the resource is to be reserved;
- and
- transmit the configuration to the set of third devices.
A second device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the second device in a first area at least to:
- receive, from a fourth device serving the second device or a first device, a configuration indicating a resource for a positioning reference signal for the second device, the resource being reserved by a set of third devices selected from a plurality of third devices in the first area;
- and
- transmit, to a fifth device measuring the positioning reference signal, the positioning reference signal by using the resource.
A sixth device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the sixth device at least to:
- obtain update information concerning an update of a second area in which a second device is located;
- and
- based on the obtaining of the update information, transmit, to a first device, information indicating that the second device leaves the second area.
