Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments facilitate UE location determination in systems with dense PRS configurations, reduced PRS periodicity, frequency hopping, and involving UE inter-frequency measurements. The techniques may be applied to Bandwidth reduced-Low complexity (BL) UEs, or enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) UEs or Further enhanced MTC (FeMTC) UEs and/or in LTE-M systems. A method on a UE may comprise: receiving a Reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD) measurement request; transmitting, in response to the RSTD measurement request, a dedicated gap request comprising a requested configuration of dedicated gaps; and receiving, in response to the dedicated gap request, a message comprising a dedicated gap configuration. The dedicated gap request may comprise a request for dedicated measurement gaps and the message may comprise a dedicated measurement gap configuration. In some embodiments, the dedicated gap request may comprise a request for dedicated autonomous gaps and the message may comprise a dedicated autonomous gap configuration.

Claim (Index 16):
The UE of  claim 15 , wherein the RSTD measurement request comprises positioning reference signal (PRS) assistance information, and the dedicated gap request comprising the request for dedicated measurement gaps is further transmitted in response to at least one of:\n a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that the RSTD measurement request involves a plurality of carrier frequencies, or a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that the RSTD measurement request involves one or more inter-frequency measurements by the UE, or a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that the RSTD measurement request involves one or more intra-frequency measurements by the UE; or a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that an estimated time to perform at least one RSTD measurement specified in the RSTD measurement request exceeds a default Long Term Evolution (LTE) measurement gap duration, or a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that a default LTE measurement gap periodicity exceeds at least one PRS periodicity (T PRS ) associated with the RSTD measurement request, or a determination based, in part, on the PRS assistance information, that a number of subframes (N PRS ) in at least one PRS positioning occasion related to the RSTD measurement request exceeds a threshold.
