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 7):
The apparatus according to  claim 3 , the processing circuitry further configured to:\n in the current iteration of the iterative process, determine to terminate the iterative process and to output the current estimate of the position of the UE as the positon of the UE if:\n a number of sets of SLPs in the current plurality of the sets of SLPs is equal to a first threshold, \n a number of base stations that support the TRPs corresponding to the sets of SLPs in the current plurality of the sets of SLPs is equal to a second threshold, or \n a preconfigured number of iterations is used in the iterative process.
