Abstract
Aspects presented herein may enable a location server to obtain/know the non-terrestrial network (NTN) capabilities of a user equipment (UE) to improve the overall performance and efficiency of UE positioning. In one aspect, a location server receives a set of NTN capabilities associated with a UE. The location server receives an indication of the UE being camped on an NTN cell based on at least one of: (1) when a radio resource connection (RRC) reconnection is established for the UE between a terrestrial network (TN) and an NTN during a positioning session, (2) when the UE has both TN connectivity and NTN connectivity during the positioning session, or (3) when the UE has at least one high priority task. The location server transmits, for the UE in response to the indication, updated assistance data (AD) based on the set of NTN capabilities associated with the UE.
