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: Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic monitoring modes for synchronization signal block (SSB) transmissions are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor one or more first SSB transmission opportunities for SSB transmissions from a base station and determine an SSB failure rate. Based on the failure rate, the UE may select a mode for monitoring one or more second SSB transmission opportunities. For example, if the failure rate is greater than a threshold, the UE may select a first mode for monitoring a first quantity of the one or more second SSB transmission opportunities. Additionally, if the failure rate is less than the threshold, the UE may select a second mode for monitoring a second quantity different than the first quantity of the one or more second SSB transmission opportunities. The UE may monitor the one or more second SSB transmission opportunities according to the selected mode for monitoring.
