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.
