Abstract: A method for blindly determining positioning reference signals in a wireless communication network determines a positioning reference signal (PRS) network configuration by estimating a PRS energy from predetermined locations of each subframe of an incoming signal. Such a method may also include blindly detecting PRS parameters based on the estimated PRS energy. The PRS energy may be peak energy responses for deep searches or verifications. The PRS energy may be a signal to signal plus noise ratio for shallow searches.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a wireless user equipment (UE) establishing and utilizing a reference timing for a carrier or cell with multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). A UE may receive a downlink signal on each of a plurality of component carriers (CCs), and determine respective timing events (e.g., slot boundaries, subframe boundaries, etc.) corresponding to each of the plurality of CCs. The UE may then determine a reference time for a first CC of the plurality of CCs. This reference time corresponds to a function of two or more timing events corresponding to different TRPs utilizing the first CC. The UE then determines a relative timing difference between the plurality of CCs based on this determined reference time. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described, including determining and utilizing a reference time on an uplink CC.

Abstract: In an aspect, a UE receives, from a network entity, a configuration of PRS or SRS-P resources for a positioning session, receives a configuration of at least one BWP from a serving BS, identifies a time-domain period for the positioning session where a set of parameters associated with the at least one BWP is to remain constant to achieve a first positioning accuracy requirement. The UE either performs positioning measurements on one or more of the PRS resources during the positioning session or transmits on one or more of the SRS-P resources during the positioning session. The UE determines an active BWP transition during the time-domain period from a first BWP to a second BWP that is associated with one or more changes to the set of parameters.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits capability information indicating a maximum number of downlink resources for both positioning reference signal (PRS) resources and downlink resources for one or more second downlink channels or signals that the UE is capable of processing per unit of time, receives, from a serving transmission-reception point (TRP), a configuration of one or more downlink resources for the one or more second downlink channels or signals, wherein a number of the one or more downlink resources is less than the maximum number, and receives, from a location server, a configuration of one or more PRS resources for the serving TRP, one or more neighboring TRPs, or both, wherein a number of the one or more PRS resources is less than the maximum number.
