Abstract: A positioning signal processing method at a user equipment includes: operating the user equipment in a discontinuous reception mode including time interleaved ON times of the discontinuous reception mode, during which the user equipment is in an active mode monitoring for a positioning signal measurement trigger signal, and OFF times of the discontinuous reception mode, during which the user equipment is in an inactive mode; receiving a wake-up signal at the user equipment; and determining, at the user equipment, whether to measure a positioning signal based on whether the wake-up signal indicates to implement the active mode during a scheduled discontinuous reception mode ON time or to skip the scheduled discontinuous reception mode ON time.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE determines old and new pathloss vectors that track old and new pathloss values on an element-specific basis. For a respective element, the UE selectively triggers a PHR based upon respective old and new pathloss values for that element. In another aspect, the UE determines whether differential pathloss value between two respective pathloss values associated with two pathloss measurement attempts for an element is unavailable or (if available) is higher than a threshold value, and the UE selectively triggers a PHR for the element based on the determination.
