Abstract
Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to perform positioning using virtual anchors and/or positioning reference units. In one aspect, a UE transmits a request for assistance data for performing UE-based positioning, where the request includes at least one of location information of the UE or a list of anchors observed by the UE. The UE receives the assistance data for the UE-based positioning, where the assistance data includes a list of virtual anchors and a list of positioning reference units (PRUs) that includes a set of virtual PRUs (VPRUs), where the list of virtual anchors and the list of PRUs are selected based on at least one of the location information of the UE or the list of anchors observed by the UE. The UE performs the UE-based positioning using at least one virtual anchor and at least one VPRU in the assistance data.
