Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 23:
24. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory;
at least one transceiver; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
determine a capability of the UE to perform a measurement of a downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) across a plurality of measurement instances, the DL-PRS transmitted over a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbols on a same transmission bandwidth, and each of the plurality of measurement instances associated with a different sub-band of the transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS; and
transmit, via the at least one transceiver, an indication of the capability to a network component,
wherein the DL-PRS is transmitted on the plurality of OFDM symbols on the same transmission bandwidth without transmit frequency hopping, wherein the same transmission bandwidth represents a full transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS, and
wherein the indication indicates a minimum sub-band overlap between adjacent measurement instances that can be performed within a single DL-PRS instance of the DL-PRS,
wherein the full transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS includes at least each sub-band associated with the plurality of measurement instances, and each of the plurality of measurement instances is associated with a measurement by the UE of the respective sub-band at a different time, wherein measurements by the UE of the respective sub-bands are combined to derive a measurement of the full transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS.
