Questions about the technology: 1. How does the positioning time gap improve the accuracy of device positioning? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in wireless communication systems?

Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in wireless communication systems and location-based services to incorporate the latest technologies and improvements in device positioning procedures.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various example embodiments relate to provision of a positioning time gap in a paging procedure. An apparatus may obtain positioning capability information of a device. The positioning capability information may comprise an indication of a first time period for determining a position of the device with first initial positioning data and an indication of a second time period for determining the position of the device with second initial positioning data. A positioning time gap may be determined based on the positioning capability information of the device. The apparatus may transmit a first signal, but refrain from transmitting a second signal for at least a duration of the positioning time gap from the first signal. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
