  • Publication number: 20260190028
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a network entity to configure a UE to process positioning signals (e.g., to receive PRS, to transmit SRS, etc.) in a subset of a DRX ON duration, where the UE may be scheduled for both PRS and SRS with the same WUS/PDCCH signalling. In one aspect, a UE obtains a configuration of at least one of a PRS reception or an SRS transmission associated with a WUS. The UE receives the WUS from a network entity, where the WUS is associated with a set of PDCCH MOs inside a DRX ON duration. The UE performs at least one of the PRS reception during a PRS reception window inside the DRX ON duration or the SRS transmission during an SRS transmission window inside the DRX ON duration based on the reception of the WUS.

  • Patent number: 12634869
    Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) measures, during a measurement period that spans multiple measurement opportunities, multiple positioning reference signal (PRS) instances, each PRS instance occupying a different measurement opportunity, to produce a plurality of positioning measurements. A PRS instance can be a PRS resource, a PRS resource set, a PRS frequency layer, a transmission/reception point, or combinations thereof. For each PRS instance measured, the UE determines whether the PRS instance was punctured. Upon a determination that the PRS instance was punctured, the UE discards at least a portion of the positioning measurement and modifies the measurement period, e.g., by restarting the measurement period or extending the measurement period in order to take a measurement of another PRS instance.
