Abstract
Aspects presented herein may enable a network entity (e.g., a location server, an LMF, etc.) to generate and configure virtual anchors and/or virtual positioning reference units (VPRUs) for a UE for UE-based positioning. In one aspect, a network entity receives an indication to perform UE-based positioning for a UE. The network entity configures, for the UE, assistance data that includes a list of virtual anchors and a list of VPRUs for the UE-based positioning. The network entity transmits the assistance data including the list of virtual anchors and the list of VPRUs. The network entity may generate the list of virtual anchors based on a location offset to each physical anchor in a set of physical anchors. The network entity may generate the list of VPRUs based on at least one physical PRU.
