Abstract:
Embodiments of a Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and User Equipment (UE) are generally described herein. The gNB may transmit control signaling to configure transmission of position reference signals (PRSs) by a plurality of transmit-receive points (TRPs). The gNB may receive, from the UE, for each of the TRPs, a set of signal location parameters (SLPs). The gNB may perform an iterative process to estimate a position of the UE. For a current iteration, the gNB may: determine a current estimate of the position of the UE based on a current plurality of sets of SLPs; and determine a cost function for each of the current plurality of sets of SLPs. The gNB may determine, based on the cost functions, a next plurality of sets of SLPs for a next estimate of the position of the UE.

Claim (Index 14):
The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 13 , wherein to estimate the position of the UE, the processing circuitry is configured to perform an iterative process,\n wherein for a current iteration of the iterative process, the processing circuitry is configured to: determine a current estimate of the position of the UE based on a current plurality of the sets of SLPs; for each of the sets of SLPs of the current plurality of the sets of SLPs, determine the cost function that compares: a distance based on a position of the corresponding TRP and the current estimate of the position of the UE, and a distance based on the estimated propagation delay included in the set of SLPs; wherein for a next iteration of the iterative process, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a next plurality of the sets of SLPs to be used to determine a next estimate of the position of the UE, and wherein for the next plurality of the sets of SLPs, the processing circuit is to exclude, from the current plurality of the sets of SLPs, the set of SLPs for which the cost function is maximum.
