The RPs may measure signal strengths of received SRS that are used to determine path loss reference values that are provided to the UE for configurating subsequent SRS. The UE may report a plurality of RxTx time difference measurements with respect to a single PRS for the SRS transmitted to a plurality of RPs. The RPs may provide an Rx time for received SRS, which is used to generate a RxTx time different measurement for asymmetric round trip time (RTT) if the RP and TRP clocks are synchronized. The RPs may provide an RxRx time difference measurement for a time of reception of PRS and SRS if the RP and TRP clocks are synchronized. A location server determines a position of the UE using different positioning measurements.
