This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18729774 titled 'Positioning Reference Signals Configuration based on Discontinuous Reception
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for a user equipment (UE) for positioning in a radio access network (RAN). The UE receives from a positioning node, a plurality of configurations for positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by a RAN node and a mapping between the plurality of PRS configurations and one or more of the following: a plurality of sets of one or more UE discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles, and a plurality of sets of one or more positioning quality of service (pQoS) targets. The UE obtains one of the following based on the mapping: a PRS configuration based on a DRX cycle configured for the UE by the RAN node: or a DRX cycle based on a first pQoS target or on a PRS configuration to be used for positioning measurements; and performs positioning measurements on PRS transmitted by the RAN node according to the obtained PRS configuration and on the DRX cycle.
