Claim 13:
14. A method of operating a network component, comprising:
determining a capability of a user equipment (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, each of the plurality of measurement instances associated with a different sub-band of the transmission bandwidth of the DL-PRS; and
configuring one or more parameters associated with positioning of the UE based at least in part on the capability,
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.
