Abstract: An apparatus for use in a UE includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. To configure the UE for Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD)-based 5G-NR positioning. The processing circuitry is to determine a first PRS BW associated with a first PRS received from a first gNB associated with a first cell. A second PRS BW is determined, which is associated with a second PRS received from a second gNB of a second cell. An RSTD report resolution is determined based on the first PRS BW and the second PRS BW. A receive (Rx) timing difference between the first cell and the second cell is measured based on reception times of the first PRS and the second PRS. The measured Rx timing difference is mapped into an RSTD report for transmission to the first gNB, based on the RSTD report resolution.

Abstract: Systems and methods of initial acquisition in a NR system are described. A UE receives time and frequency superposed SSBs from a gNB. If the PSS and SSS of each SSB is independent of a block index of the SSB, the UE receives an additional reference signal scrambled by a beam index of the SSB and uses the reference signal to discriminate between the SSBs. The reference signal is FDMed within a null-subcarrier region of the SSB or outside of the SSB. If the PSS and SSS of each SSB is scrambled using the block index, the UE separates the PBCH measurements, iteratively identifies a block index associated with a DMRS of the PBCH with the highest L1-RSRP level measurement, decodes and reconstructs the PBCH, and subtracts the reconstructed PBCH from the SSB before transmitting an indication of the PBCH with the highest L1-RSRP level measurement to the gNB.
