Claim 15:
16. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, 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:
switch to DRX active time of a DRX cycle of the DRX mode; and
transmit, via the at least one transceiver, one or more uplink positioning reference signal (UL-PRS) resources of an UL-PRS occasion based on the UL-PRS occasion at least partially overlapping DRX OFF time of the DRX cycle after the DRX active time; and
receive, via the at least one transceiver, a wakeup signal (WUS) indicating whether the UE is expected to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a next DRX cycle or to skip the next DRX cycle,
wherein, based on the WUS indicating that the UE is expected to monitor the PDCCH during the next DRX cycle:
the at least one processor configured to transmit, via the at least one transceiver, the one or more UL-PRS resources of the UL-PRS occasion comprises the at least one processor configured to transmit, via the at least one transceiver, all UL-PRS resources of the UL-PRS occasion based on the UL-PRS occasion partially overlapping the DRX active time and the DRX OFF time or fully overlapping the DRX OFF time, or
the at least one processor configured to transmit, via the at least one transceiver, the one or more UL-PRS resources of the UL-PRS occasion comprises the at least one processor configured to transmit, via the at least one transceiver, a subset of UL-PRS resources of the UL-PRS occasion based on the UL-PRS occasion partially overlapping the DRX active time and the DRX OFF time.
