Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to a method, apparatus and system for adjusting a processing bandwidth or frequency domain buffer decimation associated with reference signals, for example, positioning reference signals (PRS). By reducing the number of, for example, resource blocks and/or resource elements to be processed, the power involved in processing the reference signal can be reduced. Hence, in some implementations, aspects of the disclosure can enable low-power low-bandwidth devices, such as NarrowBand Internet of Things (IoT) (NBIoT), to decode reference signals such as PRS.

Claim (Index 24):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code which, when executed by a processor, instructs the processor to perform a procedure implemented at a User Equipment (UE) for adjusting a frequency domain (FD) buffer decimation associated with a reference signal, the procedure comprising:\n determining a present Carrier-to-Interference-and-Noise Ratio (CINR) associated with the reference signal; determining whether the present CINR associated with the reference signal is greater than an upper reference signal CINR threshold; and or increasing the FD buffer decimation associated with the reference signal, in response to determining that the present CINR associated with the reference signal is greater than the upper reference signal CINR threshold.
