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 18):
An apparatus of a User Equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising: memory; and processing circuitry, configured to:\n decode, from a Next Generation Node-B (gNB), control signaling that indicates information related to position reference signals (PRSs) from multiple transmit-receive points (TRPs) or on multiple transmit beams; determine, for each receive beam of a plurality of receive beams, for each TRP, and for each transmit beam: a set of signal location parameters (SLPs) based on one or more received PRSs; encode, for transmission to the gNB, one or more measurement reports that indicate the sets of SLPs; decode, from the gNB, control signaling that indicates a positon of the UE based on the sets of SLPs, wherein the memory is configured to store information related to the sets of SLPs.
