Techniques for supporting positioning for mobile UEs in reduced-power states are described, such as for low power high accuracy positioning (LPHAP). In many embodiments, uplink (UL) and/or UL+downlink (DL) positioning for UEs in inactive and/or idle states are enabled in a manner that improves positioning services in 5G networks by reducing the need to transition into higher power states. For example, positioning configuration groups may be utilized to enable a common positioning configuration, or portions thereof, to be utilized in multiple network cells. In various embodiments, a power metric of signals may be utilized to determine network cells in a positioning configuration group. In another example, various techniques are utilized to obtain, validate, or update positioning configurations and/or activate positioning transmissions at a UE with the UE in an inactive or idle state.
