  • Publication number: 20240069142
    Abstract: Information inherently conveyed in the hierarchical structure of a positioning frequency layer is leveraged to determine a sequence identifier unique to each Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) resource of a sequence of PRS resources used in a positioning session of a user equipment (UE). This unique sequence number can then be used in the reporting of measurement data by the UE or other reporting device to a location server. As such, embodiments herein effectively provide means for compressing identification information included in position measurement reporting to the location server.
