Abstract
Systems and methods for measuring at and reporting by a target user equipment (UE) of one or more positioning signals sent from one or more assisting UEs to the target UE are disclosed herein. The target UE may receive a positioning signal from an assisting UE according to a communication received at the target UE. The target UE may proceed to perform a positioning measurement using the positioning signal received from the target UE. The positioning measurement may be used by the target UE to estimate its own position, or the positioning measurement may be sent to another entity within a wireless communications system to be used in estimating the physical position of the UE. The handling of multiple received positioning signals from various sources, and the handling of situations where, for example, a transmission reception point (TRP) and an assisting UE may schedule overlapping positioning signals, ate also discussed.
