Abstract
A network node supports position measurement determination for a user equipment (UE) by prioritizing positioning reference signal (PRS) resource measurements to be included in a location information report based on multipath characteristics of the PRS resources. The network node, for example, may be the UE, a base station, or a sidelink UE. The PRS resource measurements may be prioritized by determining a subset of available PRS resource measurements to include in and/or the order of inclusion in the location information report. The multipath characteristics of each PRS resource may be the number, a strength metric, or a time domain span of the multipath components, or any combination thereof. A location server may request the prioritization of the PRS resource measurements based on the multipath characteristics of the PRS resources and may use the order of the PRS resource measurements in the position determination for the UE.
