Abstract
An entity, such as a mobile device or base station, measures downlink position referencing signals (PRS) occasions or uplink position sounding referencing signal occasions for supporting estimating the position of the mobile device. The entity, for example, performs a plurality of positioning measurements from a plurality of consecutive PRS occasions received in a bundle from one or more base stations or from a mobile device. Each PRS occasion may include one or more slots and may be narrowband or non-narrowband. The bundled, e.g., consecutive, PRS occasions may be transmitted with a periodicity that is sufficient to maintain a desired throughput. Moreover, with the use of bundled PRS occasions, power consumption of the mobile device, as well as effects of clock drift and mobile device movement, may be minimized.
