Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration, the PRS configuration including at least a PRS periodicity defining repetitions of one or more PRS resources associated with at least a first transmission-reception point (TRP), receives a measurement gap configuration including at least a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) defining repetitions of a measurement gap, and performs one or more positioning measurements of at least the one or more PRS resources during one or more repetitions of a measurement period, the one or more repetitions of the measurement period having an effective measurement periodicity, the effective measurement periodicity based on an alignment periodicity and a time period T during which the UE can process a duration N of PRS symbols, the alignment periodicity based on the PRS periodicity and the MGRP.
