Claim 26:
27. A wireless network component, 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:
transmit, via the at least one transceiver, to a user equipment (UE), an L1 or L2 message comprising an index or reference that indicates one of a plurality of positioning reference signal (PRS) configurations so as to trigger an aperiodic or semi-periodic PRS procedure,
wherein the plurality of PRS configurations includes at least a first PRS configuration and a second PRS configuration,
wherein each of the plurality of PRS configurations is associated with a respective set of PRS parameters that includes at least a PRS periodicity, a subframe offset, a sequence identifier per PRS resource, a comb-size per PRS resource, and a resource element (RE) offset per PRS resource, and
wherein each of the plurality of PRS configurations differs from each other of the plurality of PRS configurations with respect to at least one PRS parameter value; and

perform the aperiodic or semi-periodic PRS procedure in accordance with the indicated PRS configuration.
