Claim 34:
35. A first transmission-reception point (TRP), comprising:
means for determining to send, to a user equipment (UE), a command triggering at least one of one or more positioning reference signal muting configurations associated with a TRP identifier (ID) and/or a positioning reference signal ID, wherein the triggered positioning reference signal muting configuration indicates that:
one or more positioning reference signals of one or more positioning reference signal occasions of at least one positioning reference signal configuration of a plurality of positioning reference signal configurations of a second TRP are not being transmitted, the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations associated with the TRP ID and/or the positioning reference signal ID, or
the one or more positioning reference signals of the one or more positioning reference signal occasions of all of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations of the second TRP are not being transmitted, wherein the second TRP mutes the positioning reference signals according to the triggered positioning reference signal muting configuration, and based on a priority rule regarding a type of the triggered positioning reference signal muting configuration versus a type of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations,
wherein the command comprises a downlink control information (DCI) command or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) command,
means for triggering the command based on a determination that there is an overlap between positioning reference signal occasions of the second TRP and the one or more positioning reference signal occasions of at least one of the plurality of positioning reference signal configurations, and
wherein, based on the triggered positioning reference signal muting configuration being semi-persistent, the priority rule allows muting a positioning reference signal occasion of the second TRP that is periodic or semi-persistent, but omits muting any positioning reference signal occasion of the second TRP that is aperiodic.
