Abstract
A method of requesting a reference signal includes sending, from a user equipment, a first on-demand reference signal (RS) request for an RS in response to a first positioning request; obtaining, at the user equipment, a first timer value indicative of a first threshold amount of time; sending, from the user equipment, a second on-demand RS request in response to either: the first threshold amount of time passing after sending the first on-demand RS request without at least one of receiving the RS at the user equipment or decoding an RS configuration message at the user equipment or receiving, at the user equipment, a second positioning request, having a higher priority than the first positioning request, before passage of the first threshold amount of time after sending the first on-demand RS request.
