Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a position estimation selection scheme for position estimation of a user equipment (UE). For example, depending on various factors (e.g., UE battery level, positioning accuracy requirements, etc.), different positioning schemes (e.g., positioning reference signal (PRS)-only or legacy positioning, passive UE position estimation, semi-passive UE position estimation, etc.) may be preferred. In an aspect, a set of selection criteria may be evaluated to select the particular position estimation scheme to be implemented for a particular position estimation session of a UE. Such aspects may provide various technical advantages, such as reducing power consumption at the target UE (e.g., particularly advantageous for RedCap UEs), more accurate UE position estimation, reduced UE position estimation latency, and so on.
